About me

Sara Davis, the artist

I AM A WIFE, A DOG LOVER, A TRAVELER, A TAYLOR SWIFT FAN, AND AN ARTIST.

I am an incredibly lucky woman to have all of those things and a career that I love. I didn’t start out as an artist though. My career began as a Landscape Architect when I graduated from Louisiana State University.

During studio classes, the question was often posed of what something could do or be if it wasn't already assumed to do or be what it already was. This way of thinking led me down very interesting paths throughout my school years - one of which earned myself and my teammates an American Society of Landscape Architects Merit Award for our design.

Along with art and design, I've always had a passion for books. Upon graduating, I found myself with a little more time for leisurely reads than I had ever had before. The more reading I did, the more fascinated I became with the idea that the literature I was reading was a texture as rich and vibrant as any I had worked with as a landscape architect.  I decided to take this abstract idea and translate it into something concrete by manipulating the text into a medium on canvas as part of my interpretation of the imagery it generated. Each piece is a unique representation of my reflections on the source material that is incorporated into the piece.

So that’s how my career began. But it is constantly evolving as I grow in both my life and my work. Check in with my blog for the random updates of how my art is changing.
