David Rousseaux-Morrice was the son of Arthur A. Morrice, a Scottish textile manufacturer, and his wife of French Huguenot descent. Morrice’s uncle was Canadian artist, J.W. Morrice.

He attended Upper Canada College and the Appleby School near Toronto, then graduated from McGill University in 1924 (the year he started painting).

His first one-man show consisting of 80 paintings was held at the Dominion Gallery, Toronto, in March of 1950.
