Great looking composition by Jeanne Davies depicting a portrait of a darling little girl in a. White dress with a basket of pink roses. Davies was best known for her folk art style family portraits. This is a fine example of her paintings in very good condition. Jeanne Davies was born in Plainfield, New Jersey. She attended the Scotch Plains school system. After high school, she pursued that dream by attending the New York School of Visual Arts. She left school after a year, got married and moved around the country with her husband before settling in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. While raising her children, Jeanne painted on everything she could get her hands onwalls, canvas, velvet, glass, wood, furniture She painted game boards, frakturs, theorums, and primitive portraits. This dealer bought all of Jeanne’s work for the next 26 years, which included landscapes in the various seasons, water scenes, Amish scenes, Apple Picking scenes/farm scenes, family portraits, children, a Noah’s Ark, and all types of pictures with animals. When the relationship dissolved in 2003, Jeanne retired from painting. She dedicated time to her garden and her grandchildren. She painted pictures for family and friends. (Albert Webster Davies) She has no knowledge as to when, why, or how her pictures became attributed to someone other than herself. Now she knows that her work can be sometimes attributed to Albert Webster Davies or some people have been told that she is “Grandma Davies”. Her spirit broke as she became aware that she is in danger of never getting the recognition or credit for her talent. Her dream almost came true. Unfortunately the recognition was misplaced in some cases. Jeanne Davies is now out of retirement and painting again to try to get the name and credit back that she completely deserves. She deserves to be known. She is using her acrylic paints and her oil paints to continue to turn out lovely paintings in both mediums with the signature “Davies” on them. There are 2,000 and counting paintings of hers out there. Let’s hope people now and in the future will learn that there was a painter named Jeanne Davies and they will see the work she so lovingly created. Written by her daughter, Gail Davies Speers.
