Artist Name: Helen DavisonBiography
I am mainly self-taught, having discovered my natural talent late on in life. My work is usually rendered in acrylic paint, although I am also adept at pastel, charcoal and ink drawings. I am inspired by a myriad of things - from the mundane to the magnificent! My work tends to reflect my love of bright colours, shapes, textures and patterns.
I am happy to consider commissions for portraits of people or pets in most medium and can also arrange to have any artwork framed at a reasonable cost.
My favourite artists include Stanley Spencer, Lucian Freud and Magritte.
