Art Gallery

Matchstick & Ink

Artwork by David Woodard
November 1 – December 28, 2025

David Woodard has been exhibiting his distinctive artwork in Glastonbury and beyond since 1970, with shows including Glastonbury on the Green, Art at the Abbey, Art for Nature’s Sake, and exhibiting for the Trinity College Engineering Department. His unique technique employs a wooden kitchen matchstick as a brush, using permanent India ink as his primary medium and sometimes incorporating minimal watercolor tones to add subtle depth and texture. Over the decades, Woodard has developed a signature style that blends precision with spontaneity, transforming simple materials into striking works of art that capture both structure and emotion.
