More about Jim 

Jim Davies has been a prominent figure in the Edmonton art scene for decades. Having graduated from the University of Guelph in 1977, Jim came and established himself here in Edmonton. Earning his Master’s degree at the University of Alberta in 1979, he is known to many as an educator through the U of A’s Faculty of Extension. Outside of teaching he has been exhibiting his work across the country for many years and continues to produce work from his home in St Albert.

he is a truly unique talent and his paintings bring our familiar prairie landscapes to life with a sense of unmatched drama and warmth. There is something almost otherworldly about his masterful use of chiaroscuro and playful brushstrokes that breathe life into the paintings.
