Nikki Basch-Davis, one of the Bay Area's outstanding plein-air artists, is a founding member of The Outsiders, a group of seven plein-air painters whose work follows in the footsteps of The Society of Six and other early colorists.  Their emphasis on vivid color, loose brushwork and local scenery which has been touched by man set them apart from other groups. 
 
Nikki's painting  is known for its wonderful fresh color and spontaneous brushwork. She began her art education in graphic arts, which she studied at the Bezalel Art Institute in Jerusalem. She continued her art education in London where she earned a degree in Interior Design. She discovered her true passion for painting at London's Royal College of Art.
 
In the 1970s in California, she studied with Lundy Siegrist, son of Society of Six member, Louis Siegrist where she gained her interest in plein-air painting.

"Painting outdoors, on location, can be intoxicating. I am alone with a fresh canvas and a scene and the feeling that something magical is about to happen. These are the moments when I feel alive and full of anticipation."
