About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Davenport' for Jill Davenport (American, 1930-2019) and painted circa 1985; titled, verso, 'Attic Series- Yellow'. Framed dimensions: 28 x 1.5 x 25 inches. Born in Kansas, Jill Davenport moved to California in 1963. A lifelong artist and art enthusiast, she raised a family before focusing, in her early forties, on her vocation as an artist. In 1976, she graduated from Sonoma State University with a Bachelors in Art, subsequently continuing her studies with the California Post-Impressionist, Maury Lapp. During this period, her work was primarily representational and her favored medium was oil. In the late 1980's, however, she became an early exponent of computer-aided design and worked with some of the earliest Mac computers to create pioneering digital artworks. Over the course of a long career, Jill Davenport exhibited widely and with success, including at one-woman shows at the Annex Gallery in Sonoma and at the Ren Brown Gallery in Bodega Bay. Davenport was also instrumental in founding and supporting “Second Place”, a studio and workshop that became the social hub for her local community of artists.

"Vernors & Oreos" Treats for Stevie Wonder, Still-Life, Oil, Colorful
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY “Vernors and Oreos” is a clever colorful piece by Richard Wilson that is full of significant meaning for native Detroiters. The beverage and cookies are specific treats for many people in Detroit and Michigan, but for Stevie Wonder in particular who is also a native Detroiter.
