Faryn Davis:
Dust and Feather Stories
Faryn Davis originally hails from the hills of Western North Carolina where she grew up in a rural mountain setting among a strong folk arts tradition. There she spent many days wandering and collecting biological what-nots and hoarding them away in small boxes.
She has carried on this tradition as a “collector of small, powerful things” in many ways in her mixed media art which often incorporates found organic elements into illuminated, shrine-like forms and cast-resin paintings.
