She studied at the Herron Institute of Art where she would become a Millikan Award winner. Davis became well know for her studies of people and addressed topics in her works such as women’s rights and the indignities of war. She exhibited throughout the region including the Lafayette Art Center and the Hoosier Salon. Davis was a member of the Indianapolis Artists Club, where both she and Harry had both been past presidents.
