Yasmin David

Yasmin David (1939–2009) was a British landscape painter. She was the daughter of Lorna Garman Wishart and Laurie Lee. Many of her works were only exhibited posthumously. Since her death her daughter, documentary filmmaker Clio David, discovered over 200 unseen paintings and drawings hidden in a cupboard in her mother’s studio at the family home in Devon, leading to a solo exhibition of her work at The New Art Gallery Walsall in 2021.

She lived in Luscombe in Devon for most of her life. She also lived in Sicily and Cape Town, until her death in 2009.

Her half-brother Michael Wishart was also a painter.

She was married to Jungian psychologist, Julian David, and they had three children.
