John Davis S.W.L.A
John became a member of the Society of Wildlife Artists in 1987. He has illustrated many books and journals including work for the RSPB, BBC Wildlife Magazine (illustrating the New Moon section for five years) Downland Wildlife with John Burton, Badgers with Ernest Neal, Heathlands with James Parry and work for British Wildlife magazine.
John usually paints in watercolour but also acrylics and increasingly in oils. Landscapes through the seasons and its wild inhabitants are a recurring theme. John also enjoys studying animals on a more intimate level, many of these sketchbook studies can be seen in the Pinkfoot Gallery.
Although birds feature prominently, John is a keen mammal watcher, never tiring of Badgers for instance. Although much work is done in the studio, he is happiest in the field scribbling away, or doing landscape and hoping something will come along!
The clever use of light and John’s wonderful colour palette make him one of the UK’s very special wildlife artists and surely a name to watch out for as his paintings become more popular.
John exhibits annually in the Mall Gallery in London with the SWLA. He has exhibited at Slimbridge, Minsmere, Hazlemere and the Wetlands Centre in London. The RSPB commissioned John to produce a series of greetings cards, which are available through their catalogue and shops.
