Over the past 20 years, David’s work has fostered widespread acclaim and notoriety in Australia and internationally. He has exhibited on nearly every continent including Asia, Europe, Africa and America. “The vibrant city hum and clatter of trams and busy streets, which I also love, has meant that butterflies don’t visit me as they did in Byron. Fortunately, when I am in the studio, my mind and my brush travels through my imagination and I am in a place my dreams take me!” Bromley’s raw appreciation for nature has led him to create many paintings with organic subjects, butterflies being one of his highlights. This painting gives us a glimpse through his creative lens, where all the characters and subjects in his works are portrayed from the garden of his mind.
