David Pollock was born in London in 1949. He lives in Charlbury, Oxfordshire. He read Chemistry and Economics at Keele and spent his working life in Whitehall, the City and in the direction of two major trade associations. On retirement in 2010 he gained a post-graduate certificate in architectural history at Oxford. He also began to paint full time. Travel, drawing and painting are his lifelong passions. He has filled more than 40 sketchbooks with a record of his journeys in five continents over three decades and, since retirement, has exhibited his strong figurative watercolours in well-received shows in Oxford and London. David was Chairman of Oxfordshire Artweeks, the UK's biggest and oldest open-studio festiva , from 2012 to 2019.
