David Sandell is an award-winning artist in both pencil and oils and his work frequently features in international art publications. Focusing on portraits he remains fascinated by the human face as a representation of personality and self. He initially trained as a graphic designer and illustrator and runs a successful design agency; over the last decade he has specialised in portraiture. Although he doesn't consider his work mainstream, he has been recognised with various awards: in 2014 he was shortlisted for 'Artist of the Year' by Artist & Illustrator magazine and finalist in the 2015 International Portrait Awards held in Atlanta, USA for his colour pencil portrait ‘Self Analysis.’ International Artist’ magazine published a major 8 page feature on his work in 2010 and again in 2020. He works in oils, graphite, colour pencil, charcoal and pastels.
