The Artist’s Wife

Mountain Shadows resort presents “Muse: Lost in Thought” on display Nov. 6 to Dec. 31 at The Gallery. The show features portraits of his wife, Mary Anne Davis, and major works by American artist James G. Davis (1931-2016).

Mary Anne Davis was the artist’s muse for more than 50 years. Her physical beauty and likeness were the source of inspiration for many of Davis’ most celebrated paintings. This show displays the Mary Anne portrait series and highlights the artist’s style of portraying, his observations of the world around him, which evokes a sense of provocativeness and beauty in every aspect.

Davis was also a professor at The University of Arizona. He retired in 1990 to devote his full time to his painting and exhibition schedule. His paintings are in many museum collections around the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

This is the second show by Davis at The Gallery at Mountain Shadows, after receiving rave reviews from the first exhibition. Mary Anne Davis will be in attendance for the opening reception on Nov. 15.
