Biography

David Higginson is an Artist but more commonly known as GrayHammer. He has been commission based Fine Artist since he was 19. He got a BTEC qualification in Art and Design at Accrington College, which he passed with distinction when he was 17, and a BA in Fine Art at Leeds university when he was 21, and has never stopped working since then. He also did everyday work like anyone else . He was a fully qualified upholster, so he worked at that on and off for many years. He also worked as a support worker teaching woodwork and art to people with learning difficulties, and finally, as a builder labor until I was about 40, but always did his art and commissions in his free time.

When he left university, he got married to a wonderful woman called Nathalia Hurt who was the niece of the Famed British Actor John Hurt. David had a beautiful daughter, Nicole Higginson, in the first year of marriage and was truly happy for the first time in his life. But unfortunately, after three years, he left the marriage over unrecognizable differences. He fell into a depression and went traveling for around a year, where he then came back to Liverpool for around ten years then he moved back to Accrington

When he was about 41, there was an incident. He was hit over the head with an iron bar by a man who was beating a woman with the iron bar. When he tried to stop this, the man turned his anger upon David. He was in a coma for three weeks and when he awoke I couldn’t remember where he was and who he was, and as the weeks went on he found it harder and harder to go outside and also listen to music. As a result of this, he became Agoraphobic ( fear of the open space and crowds) and meloaphobic ( fear of music) and was told he was also suffering PTSD , so He has spent the past 12 years indoors, and still to this day he had never. going more than 5 feet from his door, So He became a full time artist as He had so much free time

 His own work is a way for him to face the demons that hunt him,  a way for him to reduce their hold upon him and  truly hope when people see his work they will see something familiar within themselves and look at their own demons and, as he likes to say, “poke them in the eye”.
 He also does a lot of commission work to help fund his own work, and he  has social  networking pages that show some past commissions and also his own art.

David Higginson was born in Accrington Uk on the 23rd of May in the year of 1969 and stayed there untill the age of 19, when he left to go to university in Leeds to do a BA in fine arts. Once he finished university, he met the woman that became his wife and moved to Liverpool .After three and half years, he left the marriage. He went travelling for around a year even though he was suffering from depression. He now thinks he was just attempting to run away. After about a year, he went back to Liverpool, where he fell in with a crime family and worked with them for around 9/10 years.

 He left that life behind him and move back to Accrington, where he lives until this day. In 2011, David was attacked by a man with an iron bar and was in a coma for around 3 weeks. Once he woke up from this, he  suffered from loss of memory and struggled every day to remember simple things like his name and where he was. As a result of this, he found it harder and harder to go outside and interact with other people and developed Agoraphobia and, for some reason, Meloaphba, both of which he still suffers from till this day..

He continued to paint but never really finished any work and just mainly worked on commissioned works. That was until his oldest friend and brother Terry Graham motivated him to get back to his own art . And so David pushed himself to finish all the unfinished work he had and push forward with his work, which he still does to this day .

David also, in his free time, studied theoretical thinking on subjects like quantum physics and dimensional understanding and came up with some intriguing  theories, 

He also liked to play computer games in his down time. His favourite was Lotro ( Lord of the rings online) and this is where the name GrayHammer was born. He became quite famous within the community as a mercenary and it was here he met Marija Maja, who not only became a fantastic friend to David but also gave him strength to carry on through all his down days and bad times , even though they had never actually met in life, he felt all the trust he needed from her and hoped she did to.
