Des Moines artist Jan Davison greeted visitors at a reception Friday at the Charles City Arts Center.
The pastel drawings, acrylic paintings and framed art poems by Davison are the featured exhibit at the CCAC throughout the month of July.
Davison creates art with pastels, acrylics and mixed media. Her subject matter is often abstract concepts, geometric designs or the beauty of nature.
She also writes poetry, and she uses it to create what she calls “art poems.” She arranges the poetry in an artistic manner and frames it. She has seven of her art poems on display at the Charles City exhibit, in addition to more than 30 paintings and drawings.
Davison has shown her art at various venues around Des Moines, but her Charles City display is her first out of town. She made the connection to Charles City through a friend, Judy Sebern Beachy, a Charles City native who had an exhibit at the CCAC last summer.
