M. M. Davis paints exclusively in the medium of oil and limits his subject matter to still life. His style is "traditional realism," a style associated with Rembrandt and the other Dutch Masters, and one that continues today in the works of such renowned painters as David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw , and Greg Kreutz.
 
 Mr. Davis has received instruction from the nationally acclaimed artists Sherrie McGraw of Taos, NM, Robert Johnson of Washington, D.C., and Greg Kreutz, a resident teacher of the Art Students League of New York City. He has also studied with Mississippi artists Mary Lane Reed, Carol Epperson, and Bob Pennebaker. His paintings have been auctioned in charity events sponsored by American Heart Association, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, National Kidney Foundation, and Rankin Health Foundation. Mr. Davis is a resident of Jackson, Mississippi.
