Person
Courtney Davis was born in South Wales, but grew up in London. It was his Welsh roots, however, that inspired a passionate interest in Celtic art. After a holiday trip to Wales he started working on a series of Celtic designs - and has ever since been inspired by the wonderful, intricate patterns, pictures of historical manuscripts and the art of the Celts. Now Courtney is a renowned contemporary artist, and his insight into the construction, balance and rhythm of the designs, as well as the symbolism and historical background has earned him worldwide recognition.
