Brought up in an artistic family, Harry Davy expressed his creativity from an early age. After obtaining a degree in Physiological Sciences from Oxford University, he gained a PGCE specialising in Expressive Arts and taught for several years. Later on he worked in interior design before turning his attention more fully to his visual art practice. He is particularly interested in the juxtaposition of the natural world and the built environment.

Davy now lives and works in Cornwall.
