              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
                                                                  ABOVE: CAMMY WITH THE BROTHERS REED
