    MEET THE ARTIST

    Dean Davis

    A creative force enriching communities, Dean Davis is not your typical artist. Operating from his home studio, he channels his passion for art into impactful community projects, leaving an indelible mark on the world.

    A Navy veteran with a diverse range of artistic talents cultivated since 1996, Dean's journey is one of dedication, altruism, and an unwavering commitment to community improvement through art.

    Following 16 years of service with the Navy and subsequent work with the railroads, Dean transitioned into a full-time mural artist. His journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, culminating in a feature on a segment of CBS Sunday Morning, showcasing his unique talent and the impact of his work.

    Dean is the driving force behind "Art Farm," a company that reflects his dedication to cultivating creativity within the community.
