David is one of two brothers and one sister. David’s Aboriginal name is Gaagang, (which means elder brother). David was born in Trangie, NSW.He attended School at Trangie. 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.
