Sharmon Davidson’s Artist Statement

My earliest memories are of a preoccupation with careful examination of the world around me, and with making marks on paper to represent what I saw. From this developed a desire to communicate through line and color what cannot be expressed in words. My work originates from a deep belief in the sanctity of the earth, and in the underlying unity of everything in our universe.

Formed from common elements born from a common source, everything is interconnected in the most intricate ways, both visible and invisible. Each piece develops organically and intuitively, as layers of transparent color and other materials are built up.

Over time, I have developed a vocabulary of nature-inspired symbols through which I attempt to reveal this mystery as honestly and authentically as I can.
