Janice Davis

Janice Davis is a contemporary oil painter whose work bridges the gap between emotional expression with abstracted unconventional landscape. Her artistic path was forged in the early 1970s after a transformational encounter with an original Van Gogh exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This spark led her to formal studies at the San Francisco Art Institute and ultimately a BFA from San Jose State University in 1985.

Personally unable to be bound by a single genre, Davis utilizes a deeply intuitive, layered approach to oil painting. Her canvases evolve through textured paint application, saturated color palettes
and a masterful sense of balance. The result is a body of work that feels both atmospheric and architectural.

For decades, Janice has been a vital voice in the NorCal California art scene. After showcasing her work throughout Northern California, she spent the last eight years immersed in the rugged beauty of Arizona, exhibiting across major venues in Sedona, AZ and the renowned Sedona Arts Center. With a massive archive of original oil paintings, her work continues to capture the timeless, moody essence of the spaces—both physical and internal—that she explores.
