Michael T. Davis, Classical Realist Painter
110 W German Street, Shepherdstown, WV 25443
Michael Timothy Davis is a Classical Realist painter working and living in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
He is co-founder of Badgerhound Studio & Gallery—not only where you can find some of his work, but it’s a relaxed setting where both beginners and advanced artists can work with him to push their craft to the next level.
Davis teaches weekly and private classes that help students develop observational drawing and painting skills in the classical method of the Old Dutch Masters, with their dark backgrounds and presence.
In his work, he strives to find the simplicity of the scene with a focus on light or intensity of a color. Michael also hopes that in some of his work a subtle humor is also present.
