A Canadian painter and musician, she has shown in the Netherlands, France and across Canada with her silky portraits and otherworldly landscapes which draw from surrealism, pop romanticism and personal memory. Greatly inspired by New Zealand short fiction writer Katherine Mansfield, her work weaves together out-of-body experiences with shag carpets, romantic wallpaper with glowing underwater creatures and vintage bicycles. The work combines perfect moments with absurd touches that can only be compared to the visual storytelling Mansfield was best known for.  As Mansfield once wrote: “This is not a letter but my arms around you for a brief moment.” Born in Victoria, British Columbia, Davies graduated from York University before sharing a studio in the legendary Les Frigos in Paris where she spent the majority of 2010. She has sat on the board of the Art Starts Neighbourhood Cultural Center, is a multi-artists grant recipient and was nominated Producer of the Year for the Canada New Media Awards in 2002. Focusing primarily on painting, Davies has traveled to Marnay-sur-Seine and Vermont for artist residencies, and continues to produce work that fits in between reality and somewhere else.
