Artist: Karen Davidson
Hello, my name is Karen Davidson
and I was born and raised in the wonderful state of Alabama. I met the
love of my life, Dennis, while in HS in a small town called Prattville.
I attended Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida after we graduated
but only for a brief time. *smile* Dennis asked me to be his bride during
my Christmas break. Homesickness quickly set in and I soon came back home.
I went to work for the telephone company and Dennis & I married the
following year. Soon afterwards we went off on our travels around the country
while Dennis was in the Army.
I gave up my dream of an art career
for quite awhile as I blissfully went through life with my dear husband
and children. We have 3 handsome sons, David, Brian and our youngest Jeff.
Our oldest, David, is now married to a wonderful young lady, Amy, and they
have the apple of my eye, my 6 year old granddaughter Madison and 5 month old Jacob. David and
Amy are both nurses at a local nursing home. Brian is now living in Las
Vegas where he is a computer technician. Our youngest, Jeff, graduated
from High School in '98 and is now attending Shelton State.
My life long dream of owning my
own art gallery finally came true for me in April of last year. My partner,
Jessie LaVon, and I have a gallery in the historic downtown district of
Demopolis, Alabama. It's a small Southern town nestled beside two rivers
which make for great fishing. I enjoy many activities involving art and
community service. Besides working at the gallery creating and teaching
art, I am very involved in several community groups. I am a member of the local Pilot International club, counselor
for the Sav-a-Life Clinic that counsels teens on abstenance and against
abortion. My husband and I are members of a community singers group that
perform several times a year. I am also very active with our church, First
Presbyterian of Demopolis.
I love to try different kinds of
crafts and art mediums. There aren't too many kinds that I haven't tried
as my wonderfully patient husband would confirm. *smile*
Below are some of my favorite people!
