Catching Up with Contemporary Artist~ Danielle Davis

Last year, I had a wonderful time interviewing the very talented and brilliant contemporary artist, Danielle Davis (click here). Recently, I caught up with Danielle to see what is new and exciting in her world.

“Abstract painting is a visual language that communicates our broader reality, inspiring understanding, connection, and exploration of subject. Color, form, and movement are presented as an exploration of how we relate to ourselves and the world through our senses. Themes presented in my work come from direct observation and point of view, and are expressed in abstract forms, reflecting a larger perspective: absolutes are the questions themselves.”

~ Danielle Davis

 

Danielle has been busy not only with her wonderful work and new website but she has also become involved with an important conference being hosted by the International Bullying Prevention Association taking place in Nashville TN, November 10th through 12th.   Danielle has donated one of her brilliant works of art to be auctioned off to raise funds for this wonderful cause.

The mission of the IBPA is to support and enhance quality research based bullying prevention principles and best practices in order to achieve a safe school climate, healthy work environment, good citizenship and civic responsibility.

The 10th Annual IBPA Conference is hosting the event with key speakers and workshops to express their commitment to solve the problem of bullying in schools as well as communities world wide. Part of the fundraising initiative is a silent auction at the conference with the proceeds from the items auctioned to be given to students who have participated in bullying prevention work in their communities for college tuition .  For the auction, Danielle has donated a painting from her “Ki” collection which examines the concept of positive strength from a traditional Asian perspective.

“I am so excited to be able to donate a piece to this conference. The International Bullying Prevention Association’s platform of creating safer, healthier environments through deeper understanding & research, is one I support wholeheartedly. Efforts like theirs make a strong positive statement that enrich people personally and in their own communities by showing that the way to a better world is to create it, together.  ” ~Danielle Davis
