Barbara Davis is a sculptor and mixed media artist whose career has focused on the healing power of the arts - through personal visual expression; facilitating expressive arts workshops for others; teaching and collaborating.
Davis’s work is heavily influenced by environmental psychology - both the impact of the built environment on psychology and the relationship between the natural environment and humanity; neuroaesthetics; and cultures of care. Davis is interested in the relationship between insides and outsides and how parts, known and unknown, make up a whole.
Davis received a BFA in sculpture, with departmental honors, from the Rhode Island School of Design; a MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts and a MSW from the Graduate School of Social Work, both at Rutgers University, New Jersey. Davis attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine and is a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT).
