Artist: Jym Davis
Jym Davis is an Associate Professor of Art at Reinhardt University in Georgia. Since 2016, Jym has been a National Park Artist-In-Resident five times: Big Cypress Preserve in Florida, Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, Lassen Volcanic National Park in California, Craters of the Moon Monument in Idaho, and Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico. The National Endowment for the Arts featured his National Park experiences in a 2018 interview with the artist. Jym's work reflects his interest in conservation, environmentalism, and 'otherworldly' landscapes. His wearable art and sculptural masks connect to the animals and landscapes where his artwork was made. His recent exhibitions include Feinkunst-Krueger gallery in Germany, Treat Gallery in NYC, and a 2021 solo show at Day & Night Projects in Atlanta.
