A Life time of art

Mari Davey

Welcome to my creative space! My name is Mari Davey, and I am a passionate artist specializing in figurative realism through the timeless medium of oil painting. My journey as an artist has been shaped by a rich educational background, including a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Wayne State University in Detroit. This scientific foundation informs my artistic process, blending technical precision with creative expression. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills not only in painting but also in photography, using both mediums to capture the essence of human experiences and emotions.

Beyond the canvas, I’ve showcased my work in juried exhibitions such as the Elaine L. Jacob Gallery and Livonia Arts Commission Fine Arts Gallery, and I’ve completed numerous commissioned pieces for personal collections across Metro Detroit. I am deeply committed to sharing the transformative power of art with others. This has included tutoring young students in art at Lathers Elementary and engaging in community-focused artistic initiatives. My professional endeavors have also extended to event coordination and management, where I’ve developed a proven ability to organize creative projects and exhibitions with precision and flair.

As a multidisciplinary creative, my artistic vision thrives at the intersection of fine art, education, and community engagement. When I’m not painting, you’ll often find me exploring Detroit’s vibrant art scene, composing answers to academic challenges as an educator, or working behind the scenes to make artistic dreams a reality.
