CAMMY DAVIS

When Cammy Davis was
in second grade, her par-
ents settled the family in
an Airstream in the woods,
near a stream. Between innate
talent and circumstance-spurred
creativity (no TV), she learned
to happily make do. Once, she
wanted high heels and tried to
make them in her father’s wood-
shop. Today she continues that
creativity and ingenuity in her
art.

Davis’s current project came
about when she had a radio show
on “Art of the Airwaves,” which
is now syndicated by Luxe Beat
Magazine. Local guest musicians
played, inspiring Cammy to paint
to live music. Now she paints and
records the video while a musi-
cian plays. The results can be seen
online. “My idea is to showcase
local musicians while telling a
story about my art.”

This year’s video project features
her painting while a different
local musician plays, each month
at a different local winery. The 12
Months of Art and Music series will
