Quiet
New Works by Jan Heaton

On display April 4th - May 2nd, 2026

Davis Gallery is pleased to present Quiet by Jan Heaton on display from April 4th to May 2nd, 2026. Jan Heaton's observations on how color and form influence our well-being are translated into a reverent escape. A quiet personal journey—created by thousands of stories, life experiences, and what brings her peace—informs Jan’s desire to offer a new perspective on familiar forms. She opens a window to the beauty she finds in nature and offers it up for the interpretation of the viewer.

Jan's art slowly unravels a story that creates an emotional connection with the viewer and reminds us of a feeling, place, or time. A quest for the natural beauty that surrounds us, her paintings are inspired by the structure, color, and patterns in nature. Working in watercolor, her organic forms integrate with the texture of the heavy cotton paper. The marks, pigment selections, and translucent layers are precise, thoughtful, and carefully planned. 

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Jan Heaton is a third-generation artist. Her artwork is represented by galleries in Austin, San Antonio, Columbus, Seattle, Boston, and San Francisco. She teaches workshops at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Rosewood Arts Center, Oklahoma Fine Arts Institute, Peninsula School of Art, and the Contemporary Austin Art School. 

Fencelines and Treelines 

New Works by Julie Davis

On display April 4th - May 2nd, 2026

Davis Gallery is thrilled to feature Fencelines and Treeline, new work by Julie Davis in the Spotlight Gallery from April 4th - May 2nd, 2026.

"Fencelines and treelines are ubiquitous in our landscape. This body of work explores paths where subtle structure meets the land, leading, guiding, or slowing our movement. These margins—shaped by use, weather, and time—offer a quiet framework for observing how the land’s use shifts on either side of these familiar boundaries. The fence posts and organic tree borders we so often pass without noticing—they hold histories, mark labor, and quietly define the way we live alongside the land.”– Julie Davis

Sunroom: Larry Goode

On display April 4th - May 2nd, 2026

Davis Gallery is excited to announce its representation of Austin-based artist Larry Goode – on display in the Sunroom April 4th - May 2nd, 2026. Goode, who holds a BFA from UT Austin and an MFA from Texas State University, creates abstract landscapes that explore the tension between structure and chaos, the tangible and the ephemeral. Drawing on his background as a graphic designer, his layered works infuse vibrant color with a whimsical and surreal attitude, reflecting what has been described as "if cotton candy hired Francis Bacon to do interior design." His work is held in numerous collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago's special collections and Seton Hospital's permanent collection, and has been displayed at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and featured in the HBO series, The Leftovers.
