William (Bill) Davies' ability to express himself artistically was evident at a young age. His talent for painting and sculpting was recognized with numerous awards. Although largely self taught, he received training at the Albright Institute of Art and the Bryant Art Studio in New York. He studied with notable artists such as Charles Burchfield and Sandra Chessman and Larry Griffith. At age 20 Bill's first solo exhibit at the Rue Franklin Gallery in Buffalo, New York, was widely acclaimed. Soon the responsibilities of family and service to his country, diverted his art career. Today Bill's lifestyle allows him to pursue his passion for creating art with commitment.
In addition to his expanding portfolio, Bill has been commissioned to create art for both the private and corporate sectors. He has exhibited in Charleston's Piccolo Spoleto. His art is currently on display at Eye Level Art Gallery and Med-Bistro in Charleston South Carolina, The Artist Loft Gallery, Mt. Pleasant, S.C., and the I. Pinckney Simons Gallery in Beaufort, SC.
