Barbara Davis is a sculptor, mixed media artist and expressive arts therapist.  Davis’s work revolves around the central themes of shelter and care; relationship and interdependence. Davis first discovered the healing power of the arts as a high school student when her father was hospitalized with a life threatening illness.  At that time Davis noticed that the only time she was free of worry was when she was drawing.  She knew then that she needed to pursue a career in the arts, with a focus on health and healing.

Davis holds a BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and both a MFA and a MSW from Rutgers University. In addition to being an artist, Davis is Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MSW/LCSW) and a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT). Davis attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
