T.J.Davies - Painter

About T.J.Davies

He was born in 1948, on a farm, Gwernywddog, Cwmysg in the shadow of the Black Mountains. 

His first artistic recollection was of George Stubbs' 'Horse frightened by a lion' when about five years old. 

He decided farming was too much hard work and became an art teacher.  He spent the best part of thirty years teaching art in Liverpool, a rewarding experience.

Married in his early twenties, still together, one daughter, Paula and a grandson, Xander.

Art, particularly painting has been a lifelong passion.  Early Italian art and all the great masters have been a constant source of inspiration throughout.  In his own work, the effect of light on his subjects is something he tries to capture whether in portraiture or landscape painting.

Now based in Cheshire, he continues to explore and confront the problems posed by attempting to create pieces of art.
