Waterfront Gallery in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Joann Davis
Waterfront
Gallery in Charleston, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Charleston
and the Lowcountry, featuring works by Joann Davis, which
represents her love of the coastal marshes, birds, and beaches
around Charleston. The exhibit will be on view through Sept. 30,
2007.
Davis' use of waterbased ink in her work makes a unique and interesting presentation. In many of her works, she uses sand and sea water to give her work a distinctive appearance different from the customary paintings. Davis' work has a depth and three-dimensional feel due to her unique use of the medium whether working in a realistic or abstract form.
Coming from an artistic family Davis' love of art began at an early age. In 1970, she decided to pursue this love with formal study through art classes and workshops. She has studied with nationally known artist Alex Powers, Joan Rothemel, Zoltan Szabo, Virginia Cobb, Mayilyn Highey Phillis and Maxine Masterfield.
Davis has won many awards for her work, including the Hal P. Moore Award in the South Carolina Watercolor Society Show, Best in Show at the First Federal of Charleston show and First Place Award, The Grumbacher Silver Medallion and Second Place at the Beaufort Water Festival, Second Place at the Atalaya Art Festival at Murrells Inlet, SC, and numerous other awards over the years. Davis has exhibited her work in shows in Connecticut, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and the Island of Bermuda. Her work hangs in many corporate collections, including Roper Hospital, Colleton Regional Hospital, Blue Ribbon Rice Corporate Office, the Colleton County Library.
Davis' works have been used in brochures promoting the City of Walterboro, the Colleton County Historical and Preservation Society, the Colleton County Museum, and in an article promoting the South Carolina Artisan Center. She has been a member of Waterfront Gallery since its beginning in 1995.
