ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rebecca Davies has enjoyed the fine arts since she was young, drawing and painting, creating textile art and a few sculptures from ceramics and wood. She studied art at California State University at Long Beach, graduating in 1980.
Davies' favorite thing to draw nowadays is the human figure, and portraiture. She also has a hobby of gardening; many of her subjects for painting or drawing are flowers, fruits or vegetables, or animals in her garden.
In the last 10 years, Davies has joined two groups that draw & paint outdoors at local parks, farms, beaches, or other locations that make inspiring plein air painting subjects. Her entries for Imagination Expressed 2022 depict three of these locations: Grangers Wharf in Martinez, Pointe Isabel Regional Shoreline, and a view at Rossmoor.
