BIO OF 1ST PLACE WINNER: Mike B. Davies

Award winning artist Mike B. Davies is truly a triple threat, with amazing skills in sculpture, painting and drawing/printmaking. Displaying many styles in each discipline, his subject matter is as diverse as his talents. With examples in his painting such as animal and human portraiture, land and seascape, along with his newest works in an original “splatter” style in acrylic paint. His sculptural works include wood, metal and polymer clay. He often employs movement by way of electric motors and built in lighting in many pieces.

Though very serious about his work, he doesn’t hesitate to incorporate his sense of humor into many of his pieces often hidden in the fine details. Mike’s work lends itself to a long look in order to discover these details. Mike is an artist to watch and keep up with in his journey in the art world. https://www.SloMotionArts.Artspan.com
