In The Dark Arts series, Clay Davis paints witches as they exist in shadow, not as symbols made safe for display.  This work reaches back toward older occult traditions - smoke-dark, ritual-worn, and quietly dangerous - where witchcraft is a committed lifestyle rather than an aesthetic shared for effect.

​

These are images of abandoned discretion, shaped by moonlight and curiosity.  Each painting feels uncovered rather than invented, like a page torn from a grimoire or a truth remembered too late.

New artwork from The Dark Arts series is available every October.
