The Painters Nest

A Mountain State native, Jes Reger Davis is a watercolor artist and teaching artist residing in Wheeling, West Virginia. Through loose brushstrokes, she captures the delicacies, imperfections, and curiosities of the natural world. Inspired by Appalachia and its rugged beauty, her work explores our connection to nature, often blurring the lines between documenting her observations and capturing the essence of her surroundings. She works from her home studio, The Painter’s Nest, where she teaches private watercolor classes and prepares for shows and exhibits. When not in the studio, she teaches watercolor workshops in and around West Virginia. Her products range from original watercolor paintings to greeting cards, bookmarks, and coloring books as well as hand-painted pottery.
