David
is
one
of
two
brothers
and
one
sister.
David’s
Aboriginal
name
is
Gaagang,
(which
means
elder
brother).
He
attended
School
at
Trangie
and
later
went
to
Uni
in
Sydney
to
do
associate
diploma
in
community
education,
so
he
could
become
a
teacher.
David
was
born
in
Trangie,
NSW.
David
uses
the
traditional
symbols
my
father
and
uncles
used
but
he
uses
his
own
style.
David
has
been
painting
all
his
life
and
started
to
sell
his
artworks
in
1986.
David
remembers
drawing
and
coloring
in
with
his
mother
and
father
when
he
was
about
five
years
old.
The
tradition
was
handed
down
to
David
then.
David
gets
a
lot
of
enjoyment
out
painting,
although
the
fun
part
is
when
he
sees
other
people’s
expressions
while
they
are
viewing
one
of
his
works.
David
paints
from
the
heart
not
from
a
picture,
as
he
was
told
by
an
Elder
from
the
Warburton
community
to
paint
what
you
feel
not
what
you
see.
