THE ARTIST
About Dave Nevard:
Dave is an artist with a passion for portraiture. After graduating with a degree in Fine Art, Dave spent 15 years working as an artist, leader and teacher with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) particularly focused on exploring portraiture amongst those who are marginalised; collaborating in amplifying the voices of those who struggle to be heard.
Now working as a freelance artist/illustrator Dave loves taking on opportunities to bring value to engaging storytelling. Blending influences from street art with traditional realism, Dave seeks to create emotive work strong in empathy with paint and charcoal alongside digital work. Dave’s studio is in York, UK where he lives with his wife Nicole and their two girls.
