Yvadney Davis

Yvadney Davis is a British Caribbean artist whose practice centres on memory, home and the lived experience of the Caribbean diaspora in the UK. Returning to painting during the pandemic, she found the process both meditative and grounding, allowing mark-making to become a way of holding emotion and history. Her work draws deeply from family narratives, particularly the Windrush generation, transforming domestic details such as wallpaper, pattern and ornament into visual archives of belonging. Through painting and collage, Davis captures everyday moments, inherited stories and collective memory, creating spaces where personal history becomes shared experience and where overlooked lives are made visible with tenderness and care.
