I have loved art for as long as I can remember. Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and raised in nearby Plant City, my earliest childhood memories are of sitting on my father’s lap, begging him to draw for me and to teach me how he did it. He would entertain me for hours drawing Mickey Mouse and all other sorts of silly characters tracing circles with a coin. My first memorable and "most favorite" gift was a large assorted box of new crayons that my aunt gave to me on her last day of school. I was thrilled! I couldn't wait to get home and draw. I can still smell them! My family has always been very supportive of my artwork. My mother is very creative and passed along to me, her wonderfully creative genes, steely determination and can-do attitude in any situation.
It was in high school that I discovered my passion for painting. I began my studies under Phyllis Duggar-Alexandroff who truly inspired me, believed in my work, and after her submission of my portfolio to various art educators, I was chosen for a scholarship to a local community college. After college, I continued my art mostly as a hobby. To date, I have worked in all types of mediums and have sold paintings and murals all over the U.S.
I lived in various cities throughout the country, and raised 3 beautiful and talented children who continue to inspire me daily with their own special niches in art as well.
My career was spent climbing the corporate ladder in the Property Management Industry for the past 20 years, until recently, when fate intervened, and I have happily found my way back to my home town. It is through my full-circle journey that I have now comfortably chosen a full-time pursuit of artistic happiness, sharing with others the inspiration that brought me to where I am today.
To me, my talent is a God-given gift that I am most grateful to share. It’s as though something magical happens when I pick up a brush. But mostly, it’s when my gift touches someone else’s soul that brings me the greatest joy of all. My purpose is fullfilled if I can evoke a sense of peace and joy through my paintings and create a piece of art that one never tires of gazing into...Belinda Davis ~ Artist
