Eric M. Davis has been strongly influenced by the native landscape of Southern California, bringing an eye for composition to his art that captures its natural scenes and reflects its complexity. He dynamically presents the garden, the home and other colorful vignettes. Not only limited to floral paintings, Davis’ talent covers a broad range of subjects from still life to portraiture.
Davis’ interest in art began at an early age where he had the ability to recognize the intricate beauty and detail found in simple plants, flowers and other elements in nature. He has since refined his skill in applying this complexity to his work, which is expressed in his colorful bold prints. Over the years, Davis has become a seasoned artist, experimenting with many different media. His training includes oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, graphic design, printmaking and photography.
Davis’ art has been on the pages of ARTnews. His prints and originals have recently been used for set decoration by the entertainment industry. The list includes TV shows Will & Grace, Without a Trace and the movie Legally Blonde II, Red, White and Blonde. Most notably, NBC’s Mister Sterling featured his painting of an Indian chief in the script.
Davis received a degree in fine art from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design(RISD) in Providence, Rhode Island. He currently lives in La Verne, California, with his wife, Juliet, daughter Riley, and son Brandt.
