This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Darnella Davis is a painter in watercolor and oil of figurative works. She was born in Beggs, Oklahoma and has taught studio art at the college level. As part of a group of Native American artists, she created work that traveled the country for two years in a show curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. She took time off from public exhibitions long enough to complete a doctorate in education policy that examined culturally relevant educational opportunities among American Indians. She has devoted the last few years to conducting research on educational equity and access for minority students.
Of her work, she writes: "Imagery in my work arises in part from my mixed heritage and in part from-and in reaction to-my Euro-centric training. International and domestic travel has affected both my point of view and my sense of the power of Art in all its varied forms".
