Jodie Davies is a British artist, specialized in various forms of art like acrylics, pastel art, and pencil art. Being an avid animal lover, the main subjects of her artworks are animals and birds.
She follows the trends of pet portraiture and animal portraiture. Portraiture is a visual representation of an individual, distinguished by references to the subject’s character, social position, wealth, or profession. Portraitists often strive for exact visual likenesses. However, although the viewer’s correct identification of the subject in front is of primary importance, exact replication is not always the goal. Artists may intentionally alter the appearance of their subjects by embellishing or refining their images to emphasize or minimize particular qualities of the subject.
Animals have been a source of inspiration for many artists. From art about rural life and growth to myths and legends, animals are used in art in many different ways. Art can help us explore our relationship to wildlife and can help us think about how we care for animals and the environment. Through her artworks, Jodie aims to create more awareness about one of the major problems in the world, which is animal cruelty. She believes that animals need to be protected at all costs, and everyone needs to work towards stopping animal cruelty.
Jodie is proud of the fact that she has come a long way, making progress with each of her artworks and growing through them. She has even ventured into being an entrepreneur by starting her small business, taking up commissions for her art and selling them to people all over the world.
Her Instagram @jodie_davies_art is filled with pet portraits that she creates. She strongly believes that one can send a significant message and make a good impact if they believe in it, and art is a door to making that difference. The artists must use it to bring about the change and make the world a better place.
She is a firm believer that art can be therapeutic and inspiring if one truly believes in it. Her greatest inspiration is animals and through her work, she wants to save and empower as much as she can.
