Thomas Nathaniel Davies was born in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales in 1922. He studied at Cardiff College of Art under the tutorship of Ceri Richards where drawing from the human figure was central to his studies. In 1942 he was called up for war service. He resumed his studies on his return, and after qualifying became a lecturer, teaching drawing and painting. He taught at Newton Abbot Art School and later became the Head of Art at South Devon College in Torquay. During the whole of his professional career he was a practising artist, some of this work is now housed in public collections such as The Victoria and Albert Museum and The National Library of Wales but the majority of the work is still together
