David
Laity is a Australian artist who believes that the important things:
inspiration, passion, perseverance and dedication cannot be taught but
must come from within.
David Laity's work focuses on sensual form. He is inspired by or modelled
on his wife and muse, Regina, these are the images that he is most passionate
about. David appreciates that success comes from painting what you feel
strongly about. 'I paint what I love. I love the sensuality and beauty
of the female form. My works are a celebration of love and intimacy.
I'm endeavouring to show that sexuality is something that can and should
be celebrated.'
