I'm so pleased to present the delightful work of Minnesota-based painter Jennifer Davis in my new Artist Watch feature at Escape Into Life.

Well-represented in group and solo exhibitions at numerous galleries, arts institutions, and museums, including Soo Visual Arts Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; The DeVos Art Museum, Marquette, Wisconsin; and Turchin Center for the Visual Arts, Boone, North Carolina, Davis is a visual storyteller who populates her canvases with people, animals, trees, and objects that acquire both surreal and dark characteristics. Davis also displays a marvelous sense of humor.

Today's Artist Watch post showcases eight images of Davis's paintings, including several painted earlier this year, provides her Artist Statement and a brief biography, and lists a number of sites, including her personal Website, blog, and Etsy shop, where Davis is active in social media.
