Kay Davenport
Kay Davenport has been painting professionally for over 20 years, and Nature and wildlife have always been the inspiration behind her work. She photographs her floral subjects at every stage of their life cycle. To her eyes, a windblown bloom which has lost half of its petals is as valid as a perfectly formed bud, in that it has its own natural beauty and charm.
Kay creates her foreground in oils as she loves their versatility and their quality of allowing the perfect blend of colour and texture, but lays this against an acrylic background, occasionally embellishing with gold or silver leaf.
Kay lived for some years in Cyprus, but was drawn back by her longing for the flowers and wildlife of the English countryside, and she is now based in rural Cheshire.
