Philip Davis

Phil and Bonnie

Phil Davis was born March 20, 1966 and has been painting and drawing since High School. Phil joined the ArtWorks program in January 2000 and explores a wide range of mediums including pencil crayons, watercolour, acrylic and pen and ink. He has a natural artistic ability and a willingness to experiment with all mediums.

Phil’s travels to Mexico and Hawaii provide inspiration and new themes for his art. Phil is interested in Egypt and Middle Eastern countries, and enjoys books on science fiction, robots, castles, rock climbing and caving. Phil loves animals, especially his departed dog, Fluffy Davis. Phil’s favorite holiday is Halloween, he never tires of drawing bats, owls and anything related to the season.                       

Phil went to the library to research robots for the Cyborg art project. He found books on Artificial Intelligence, robotics and machine evolution and took great interest in pictures from the movie “Star Wars.” Phil has depicted himself as the robot “C3P0” from “Star Wars” and included Artworks Coordinator Bonnie Laird as “R2D2.” He also looked through new car advertising and was inspired to draw a picture of the inside of a car with close attention to detail.

Phil is excited about the Cyborg project and is looking forward to the Vancouver exhibition of his work.
