The garden as subject for the painting is greatly influenced by Peterson-Davis's desire for human connection. In his work, he employs beautiful colors and familiar subject matter that is accessible and engaging to all who see it. The work is intended to lift the spirit. The work is heart centered.

Nick Peterson-Davis is most influenced by the Impressionists who really painted from a uniquely individualistic perspective. The Impressionist movement opened the door to change and inclusiveness. Humanity became the priority.
Peterson-Davis lives in New England where the four seasons still predominate the rhythm of the culture and connects all to nature. The moods and energies of the Peterson-Davis paintings change with each passing season. |
