DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1541476125948{border-radius: 4px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nArtist Talk and Members Gathering \nHow does girl from 1950’s country Queensland go from being told\, “You can never make a living from Art” to being the Governing Parton of a National Museum bearing her name?Come\, find out and meet renowned Spiritual and Environmental artist Sharon Davson at the Royal Queensland Arts Society Artist Talk. \nThis event is also the Official Announcement for the establishment and the First Anniversary of the Davson Arts & National Glass Museum.

In most countries\, this position is held by male artists. Sharon Davson is currently the only living female artist in this highly valued position. \nSharon Davson does her best to live her life in gratitude. Yet\, it was a struggle for survival\, for acceptance\, and in maintaining faith. She inadvertently remains outside the accepted commercial gallery and auction house systems. Davson has represented herself for most of her career. Since 1984\, the majority of her art has been sold before being created\, and this without being open to the public since 1991\, nor any particular reliance on modern technologies or social media. \nHer life journey contains many challenges in her field of art\, in life itself\, and in her passion to make a difference for community in the local and broader sense. Davson has directed funds from the sale of art by her to support charitable initiatives across the globe. Making a difference is the driving force in her life’s work\, it is the gentle and inspiring subject content of her jig-saw puzzle piece paintings that visually communicate with diverse audiences. \nDavson’s innate desire to leave the world in a better position than when she entered it\, has seen her environmental and spiritual art consistently grow in value\, pretty much in keeping with what she has needed to give away to ensure her priority passions thrive. \nHer first painting sale was in 1967\, at age of 15 and was for $20. “The money went toward building a new church”\, she said. “It began a pattern in my life whereby my art would also help fund greater meaning.” \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”content-moving” css=”.vc_custom_1522725927410{margin-top: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #f1f1f1 !important;background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19452″ img_size=”600×600″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n
