Before 1968, when he was able to turn his painting into a full-time job, Davis worked as a journalist, taking on jobs as a sportswriter and as a White House Correspondent during the Truman administration. He was a self-taught artist who is best known for his colorful acrylic stripe paintings. Davis made a point that he was not an abstract artist: "I'm interested in the stripe as subject matter," he explained. "Just as Picasso will take the human figure and do all kinds of twists on it; I take the simple stripe use it in all of its many variations."
