Profile

I trained at Chelsea College of Art and Design, Camberwell College of Arts and Winchester School of Art, graduating with a Masters Degree in Fine Art Painting in 2004.

My practice shifts between realism and abstraction, embracing different genres, medium, scale and technique. I could be painting a large oil one week and then working on a small delicate drawing the next. I thrive on the switch of discipline and the variety this brings to my work.

I have exhibited in both group and solo shows in London, as well as showing my work nationally. My paintings have also been selected and short-listed for prize-winning shows.

More recently I have mainly worked to commission. Clients will approach me to produce artworks particular to them. I may be asked to paint either an abstract piece for them, a scene from a honeymoon destination, a view of the family’s garden, or a favourite place that conjures up very special memories. Interestingly, I am probably most busy with my portraits of family and much -loved pets. These may either be painted in oils or watercolour, or drawn in pastel or charcoal.

Davina lives and works near Hungerford in West Berkshire and is currently concentrating on a large number of commissions in portraiture, landscape as well as abstract pieces.

There are works for sale at her studio in Hungerford.
Visits are by appointment only.
