Michelle Davies, a distinguished Yorkshire-based artist, creates captivating work across painting and ceramic sculpture. After achieving a First-Class Fine Art degree from Oxford Brookes University in 2006, she established her creative sanctuary in rural Yorkshire, where her artistic vision has flourished. Michelle's recent foray into ceramics has yielded a compelling series of hand-sculpted figures. These small, tactile sculptures are more than mere representations; they are profound celebrations of authentic, confident women. Evolving from initial studies, these intimate pieces portray women radiating in their own skin, embodying a powerful authenticity that is stripped bare in every sense. Each sculpture offers a peaceful capture of presence and an intimate exploration of identity. The intuitive and expressive freedom that defines her painting practice is wonderfully echoed in her clay work, where each small figure is imbued with remarkable warmth, character, and sensitivity.
