Joan Elan Davis is an established artist with over thirty national museum and gallery exhibitions and numerous solo exhibitions. Her paintings have been included in good company with artists such as Bartlett, Cassat, Krasner, Matisse and Tamayo to name a few. In addition, her paintings are included in private and corporate collections throughout the world. Davis has been commissioned for hotel and restaurant projects, exclusive private residences, fundraising efforts and auctions. Formally trained in New York and Connecticut, Davis now resides in Nevada, where her surroundings provide inspiration for many of her varying series. Joan’s organic forms stem from her imagination and her colors reflect the emotion and energy of an experience. Her abstract process includes using cardboard and floor work and her more defined floral pieces include layers of charcoal and graphite drawing intermixed with colorful glazes of paint.  She works out of  studios in Las Vegas, Nevada, Malibu, California and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  No matter the style or series, each and every painting by Joan Elan Davis pleasantly evokes a timeless sense of elan and joy of life.
