Nan Davis says, “I am a painter. When I cook the kitchen is a mess, when I garden I am covered in dirt and mud. So when I paint I am covered in paint. I start my paintings by creating chaos – marks and smears that are spontaneous and beautiful all on their own. Then I build energy with color and line and then I create content.”
“Sometimes my painting is an image and sometimes just strong beauty – color and texture, light and dark. Color and Texture is what is all about for me and with paint I create surfaces that pull you closer in to take a look.”
She will be in the gallery this Saturday
