Art Hound, a guide to living with art Art Hound

on the hunt for good art

Artist of the day: Jennifer Davis

September 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Jennifer Davis is based in Minneapolis but her work definitely gets around!  Recent highlights include exhibits at Nahcotta’s ETA in New Hampshire, Walker Contemporary in Boston, Cerasoli Gallery in LA, and SOOVAC in Minneapolis.  Although Jennifer has received a good amount of recognition for her work, her paintings are (for the time being) very affordable!

Below is my shortlist of Jennifer’s available work.  Performer and Yippee!, both a steal at $150, are available through Nahcotta’s ETA, while the rest, at $450, are available through Davis’s site.

090903_Nahcotta_ETA6Nahcotta’s 6th ETA opened its doors yesterday and will go through September 28th.  If you live in or will be visiting the greater Boston area, I highly recommend finding time to stop by Nahcotta, in Portsmouth, NH.

The show celebrates small-scale art (every piece is under 10”x10”) and includes 50 artists from all over the country, including California, Oregon and North Carolina.  Nahcotta does a fabulous job of putting together a show that highlights great art that is truly affordable: most pieces are under $200!  For those of you (myself included) who probably won’t make it up to Portsmouth, you can still view the show and purchase works on the ETA website.

Here’s a slideshow of some of my favorite pieces from the show.  This is just a sampling, and there are many, many others worth checking out!  Enjoy!
