David A. Haughton was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1956 and moved to Canada in 1991. He has been exhibiting for over thirty years. Haughton has extensively painted the wild west coast of British Columbia with its stormy clouds, turbulent waters and ships at sea. Other recent series explore the power of media photos of “bad guys” to provoke our fears, and reflect on the way these images trigger our innate survival skills. Haughton has exhibited in Zurich, Boston, New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver, and his work hangs in private and corporate collections worldwide.
