Rowland Davidson
Artist Bio
Rowland Davidson was born in Belfast in 1942. He studied Fine Art at the Belfast College of Art. After graduating, Davidson started teaching Art and Design at a Belfast boys’ school, becoming head of department in 1975. Davidson’s paintings are typically figurative studies of the people of Ireland, painted with a sensitivity and softness.
Davidson did not become a full-time artist until 1987. He described this change: ‘As a student I had planned to become a full-time artist within six months of graduation, but over the years I found that career demands and the need to spend time with my family meant that I had minimal time for painting. When I eventually did become a full-time painter, it was through divine intervention.’
