David Annand MRSS (born 1948) is a Scottish sculptor.[1]

Education

Annand studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in the city of Dundee. He taught in secondary schools for fourteen years.[2][3]

Art

Annand lives and works in Kilmany in the Scottish county of Fife.[4] He is a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors. He began working as a full-time sculptor in 1988. His work can be found in cities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Many of his works relate to local history or literature and are placed in public spaces.

In 2009, Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney unveiled Annand's sculpture The Turf Man in the village of Bellaghy, County Londonderry. The sculpture was inspired by Heaney's poem Digging, from the collection Death of a Naturalist (1966).

Annand was commissioned by the County Council in conjunction with the NRA in Ireland to create a sculpture to celebrate Patrick Kavanagh's poem Dancing with Kitty Stobling. The sculpture is visible on the Carrickmacross bypass section of the N2 road.[1]

In 2010, he won a commission to create a £100,000 tribute to Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, one of Suffolk's most influential historical figures. The completed work was placed close to Curson House on St Peter's Street in Ipswich.
