Paul Davis is the recipient of the Painting Prize, "Utah ‘80" from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, the Utah Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowship, and the Western States Arts Federation/NEA Fellowship for Visual Artists. Davis says of his own painting methods, "As my paintings accumulate layers of paint, they accumulate layers of meaning for me. When a painting is almost done, if it is any good, I begin to realize what it has been trying to tell me. If it is a good picture it continues to reveal itself." Deseret News Jan. 24, 1981 As Davis looks to the future he continues to accelerate in his painting career. He is currently working on opening a studio/gallery for Utah artists. Paul Davis has had a distinguished career as an artist. His work is described as being remarkably original. Davis is a realist who probes beyond mere imitation to find complexities and intensities of contemporary living. "He is a most serious and dedicated artist with an acute eye and a highly developed critical sense. His work is sophisticated, knowledgeable and completely independent." (Andrew Forge)
