Dave Woolass

Dave Woolass is one of the UK’s leading artists with a strong art background spanning more than forty years. Born and raised in Yorkshire, UK, he began his working life as a trainee manager within the retail industry. Painting and drawing were alwys his first loves, however, and it was inevitable that Dave should turn to making a living from his artwork.

For many years Dave has delivered private art classes to small groups of students, and has delivered workshops and seminars nationwide for various art societies and galleries. He has frequently been commissioned by companies to demonstrate art materials at art events as well as on live television.

Dave has undertaken numerous commissions ranging from private portrait sittings to magazine covers, and has even painted guardian angels for each member of a group of clairvoyants!

His work features in many art collections across the globe including: UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and the Middle East, and he has also appeared on the popular UK TV program, ‘A Brush with Fame’.

In 2001 the Fine Art Trade Guild of Great Britain elected Dave to the Court of the Guild in 2001. He was elected as The Masters Warden in 2003 and was ultimately elected ‘Master of the Fine Art Trade Guild’ in 2004.
