About Dave Barbour

In the coastal embrace of the South West, Dave Barbour finds his artistic muse in the form of weathered driftwood. Through his skilled hands, these remnants of nature’s artwork become a canvas for expression. Dave’s sculptures are a testament to the interplay between human creativity and the untamed beauty of each unique find. As Dave weaves tales with his driftwood creations, he invites viewers to immerse themselves in the coastal narrative, fostering a connection with nature. Dave has been awarded the People’s Choice Award at Sculptures by the Bay 2021, 2024 and 2025.
