David Raine
David Raine lives in north Lancashire and does much of his painting in the Lake District. He has a Fine Art BA Hons from De Montfort University and a PGCE in Art education. After 13 years in teaching he moved to the North West to focus on family and devote his time more fully to painting the landscapes of the area.
‘Among the great passions of my life, two that pertain to my current body of work are the need for creating, and the love of exploring the natural world. For as long as I can remember, I have found joy playing in rivers, the sea, in woods, and on mountains. It has, therefore, only been a very natural progression for me to start to paint the beauty of the English Lake District. As a Christian, I believe God made the wonderful things of the world for us to enjoy, and to reflect something of his glory”.
