Piece description from the artist
In 2013 I received Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant funding to "research, create and document a body of large-scale paintings based on vintage carousel animals and traditional carousel vignette paintings." I traveled to 8 states in 8 days to visit as many vintage carousels as possible. The resulting exhibition was "Joyride" at Public Functionary in Minneapolis, MN in March 2014. This goat painting (based on a 1902 goat from Trimper's Carousel in Ocean City, MD) was part of the exhibition.
Jennifer Davis is a Minneapolis-based artist known for her colorful, imaginative paintings of surreal and whimsical characters. She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at venues such as The Minneapolis Institute of Arts (Minneapolis, MN); The DeVos Art Museum (Marquette, MI); Foster Museum (Eau Claire, WI); Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (Santa Cruz, CA); The Lesher Center for the Arts (San Francisco, CA); ArtSpace (Raleigh, NC), as well as several galleries in major cities across the United States and Canada. Davis is a recipient of the 2013 Next Step Fund Grant from the Minnesota Regional Arts Council/McKnight Foundation. She holds a BFA from the University of Minnesota.
