Davies has regularly exhibited her paintings and etchings in local exhibitions, at Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford Town Hall, the O3 gallery and also has a selection of work available online. She loves painting seascapes, still-lifes and flowers. In 2010 she won The People’s Choice Award for her painting of the Didcot Towers called I’ll miss us when we’re gone!. Following that success, she began to paint local landscapes. Wittenham Clumps is her real favorite. In 2016 she decided to do an introductory etching course at the Oxford Printmakers, to help develop her printmaking skills. Charlie Davies loved it and joined OPC soon after. 2018 was a big year for her and she exhibited with Oxford Printmakers at their 40th-anniversary exhibition and three Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibitions. She won her second People’s Choice Award at the Chester Arts Fair, her work was also accepted at the Chelsea Art Society open exhibition and some of her works was published in The Oxford Art Book.
