Elissa Davis

  Elissa Davis is a portrait artist and a civic promoter through her large-scale public art portraits.  Elissa dedicates her art practice to highlighting women who are making contributions towards finding solutions in today's ever-changing social and civic landscape.

Elissa works full time as an artist and graduated from the University of Delaware with a BFA in painting.

These paintings are designed for public institutions and community spaces. 

 Elissa's primary objective is to paint what she believes in and what she feels is relevant to our society such as keeping an open mind & a giving heart while interacting with and relating to one another.  The women she highlights in her paintings are living examples of what she perceives as providing extraordinary contributions to American society.
