Fragments of the Sea II

David A. Haughton was born in Philadelphia in 1956 and moved to Canada in 1991. A self-taught artist, Haughton has been exhibiting his work for forty years.

For 30 years, he supplemented his art income as a Pediatric Emergency doctor. But, as was his plan all along, he is now a full-time painter.

Island Paintings II will be his eighth (8th) solo exhibition in Seattle. He has also shown in Zurich, Athens, Boston, New York City, Los Angeles and Vancouver and his work hangs in over 300 private and corporate collections worldwide.

Work on these island paintings began over a decade ago, but I can trace their true origin back to 1975, voyaging alone for the first time, free camping on a ridge overlooking the Aegean and its many islands. With backpack and by bicycle I explored most of the Greek islands. I am now working my way around those of British Columbia: Quadra Island in particular.”
