Welcome
Why Sequoia Art?
Simply, it's the name I decided to give to my art collection in May 2024 when exhibiting at Crickhowell’s Open Studios Event.
David's sequoia tree overlooking the studio
Having lived in close proximity to two of these wonderful Californian Redwoods for the best part of 36 years it seemed appropriate, given one of them towered over my studio and gallery. The base circumference of this mighty tree is at least 63 feet!
The studio was built in 2011 and the gallery was created from an old garage and workshop also adjacent to the magnificent Sequoia in the gardens of West Llanwysg.
