Becky Davis is a botanical artist from South Carolina. She pursues indigenous flowers and plants for her astonishing framed botanicals. Where fragrant water lily, Purple pickerelweed and Lotus, abound, Becky happily contends with ticks, wasps and deerflies, wading among snakes and alligators fearlessly. She says that people can't believe that she actually gets in the water, using her canoe as a big basket. But she believes that one has to be in the water to find the best things. Becky also explores less dangerous dry land, taking care to avoid endangered species. Simply put, her work involves gathering the materials, pressing and drying them, then affixing them to paper. That seems to be simple and straightforward, but the process is so much more than that. The work has to do with a love of family and community, a sense of place, and a passion for plants. She picks Black-eyed Susans and wild grasses around fields, Joe-pye weed and Rabbit tobacco, but not without the permission from farmers who live deep in the wilderness of the Santee Cooper lake system. When designing, she focuses on staying true to nature. Becky likes to show grasses at their full height and plants with their stems intact. She says that it’s best to start small; she presses smaller specimens between the pages of heavy books. Once she feels comfortable with that process, she moves to prepare larger cuttings. Her products are usually presented to customers as framed Becky Davis art which have become very popular with those who love nature, especially botanists.
