About Christine Davis

Discovery

Christine began her art career by participating in mixed media and drawing classes at the Victorian Artist Society in Melbourne. During this time, she created many watercolor paintings and several drawings which were shown in exhibitions. She enrolled for the diploma of Visual Arts at Victoria University where she was introduced to painting in oils. Art was a constant and personal therapy for her as she struggled with adjusting to moving from a country town in Queensland to the large busy city of Melbourne. She used art as a form of therapy and created several works on adjusting to a new living environment. Christine and her family moved to Adelaide where she transferred her art study to the Adelaide College of the Arts and completed the diploma and is considering furthering her study. She had her first exhibition in Adelaide through the SALA festival and exhibited 18 artworks at the Stationmasters Gallery, Strathalbyn. Christine is developing her own unique style of fine art using oils, watercolour, pencils and pastels and recently purchased a printing press so will be adding prints to her work. Christine's art is her way of revealing the beauty around us. ‘Your artwork has made me think about landscapes differently’ quote from the viewer.

Christine reveals the amazing colors, patterns, and light that people have not noticed in their surroundings through her use of chosen media.

Christine Davis Art is a South Australian artist celebrated for her evocative seascapes and landscapes that capture the beauty, serenity, and atmosphere of the Australian coastline and countryside. Working primarily in oils, Christine combines elements of realism and impressionism to create paintings rich in light, movement, and emotion.

Her passion for art began at an early age, inspired by both her father and grandmother, who were landscape painters. After undertaking formal studies in visual arts, Christine refined her technique and developed a deep appreciation for oil painting, drawn to its richness, versatility, and expressive qualities.

Christine’s seascapes are especially admired for their ability to convey the movement, reflections, and ever-changing moods of the ocean. Her landscapes celebrate the rugged beauty of South Australia, featuring iconic gum trees, rolling countryside, and tranquil natural settings that evoke a strong sense of peace and connection to place.

Over the years, Christine’s work has gained recognition through numerous art competitions, exhibitions, and finalist selections, earning her respected awards and accolades within the Australian art community. With an expanding presence both online and in galleries across South Australia, she continues to grow her portfolio and further refine her distinctive artistic voice.
