is a self-taught American folk artist from Madison, Maine. She creates unique pieces using acrylic paint on repurposed wood, often incorporating materials like barn board, furniture, barrel slats, and doors. Davis has completed over 1,000 artworks featuring natural subjects such as chickens, flowers, cats, and the ocean. While she has also done paintings on regular canvas and enjoyed them, she states that the wooden paintings have a great folk-art feel and she\u2019s very comfortable dealing with the flaws of the wood and using them to her advantage in paintings. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Davis attributes her artistic talent to her family history, with her mother and both grandmothers being artists, her mother mainly focusing on pen and ink art and both of her grandmothers concentrated on painting. Davis also enjoys and finds inspiration in the following artists: Mau Lewis, Grandma Moses, and Warren Kible. She balances her work between creating art for personal enjoyment and meeting market demands to make a living.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id29018_d584f5-bb >

She stated, \u201cThe joy I had in gifting not only the painting itself but the great advertisement each business received once I shared with my local Facebook page was great. It felt amazing to pat these great businesses on the back for making our town a home. Oftentimes the best reward with art is not of monetary value but of feeling the happiness of others get through one\u2019s art.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the future she hopes to establish her own studio on her home\u2019s property. Having to have sold the building she shared with other family members this year, having a space all her own would be an incredible achievement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Davis finds solace in her art, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. She views painting as a way to escape worries and fully immerse herself in creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin Davis has also kindly provided a poem of hers.
