As an accomplished artist in a mixture of artistic media, Dwayne Davis of Davis Arts offers many services, including; murals, illustration, commissioned artwork, portraits, architectural painting, airbrushing, graphic design, cartoons, logos, and much more.
Dwayne has many influences to his style including: Michelangelo, Monet, Van Gogh, the Group of Seven and so many other masterful artists. But none has been more influential than his study of Norman Rockwell’s paintings for the Saturday Evening Post. As in many of Rockwell’s paintings Dwayne uses light, pose, and expression, to tell a story that the average viewer may identify with. As Rockwell has been able to master the ability to be able to have an eight year old, or an eighty year old relate and retrieve something back from the painting, it is the same feel that Dwayne wishes to be able to bring to his own works.
The artwork has within it some of the brush strokes that are kept purposely unrestrained and loose, to accentuate a lighter feeling upon the subject matter. By using a looser impressionistic like painting style it serves Dwayne in his goal to keep the composition from becoming too weighted and controlled. Although the subjects in the painting are representations of reality, they are not draped in heavily defined detail. It is the use of light, colour and composition that defines the subject.

Dwayne Davis has painted many murals for various towns in British Columbia. Please view the MURALS GALLERY page to see examples of his extensive mural artwork.
