ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Born in 1954 Australian artist Heather Davis has been constantly exploring the richness and variety of the Australian landscape in her art and living close to Sydney’s bushland has a huge impact on her work.
During her painting career spanning 30 years, Heather has discovered a love of drawing with ink /paint and the use of a meandering line though-out each work and a kinship with John Olsen's comment "What joy there is in hearing yourself think, and to make that thinking into ink".
Painting with a brush attached to a bamboo stick has enabled Heather much freer line movement throughout her works and has lead to her present exploration of mark making which has developed into a form of abstract art with bold use of line and colour,
Heather endeavours to convey her immediate feelings regarding a subject using spontaneity and fluidity of movement throughout her paintings and usually works with acrylics and mixed mediums on canvas or paper.
