The Port City of Nanaimo became the first public art gallery to host a retrospective of David's portraits. Drawing together 58 works spanning 19 years of public and private commissions loaned from government and personal collections in BC. The show also features family and self portraits illustrating David's development as an artist and a man.

The opening was well attended and the exhibition catalogue was well received with many patrons leaving with 2 or even 3 signed copies tucked under their arms.

The staff and volunteers at the Nanaimo Art Gallery were generous with the time and effort both hanging the show, at the opening and each day of the exhibition. A special thank you to Ed Poli, Manager, Ian Niamath, President and Paul Fudge, VP of the Nanaimo Art Gallery.

Many thanks to those who so generously leant their portraits for this retrospective exhibition.

We hope you will enjoy these photos, taken at the hanging as well as at the opening Sept. 1, 2011.
