Framed dimensions: 31 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.
