For much of her life, Davson has dedicated time and resources to assisting world peace and environmental causes, especially endangered species, and those disadvantaged in our societies. Davson's art reflects these passions, and has been the vehicle by which she has inspired many others.
Since 1999, Davson's art has primarily been exhibited in retrospective exhibitions in public regional art galleries. Such is the esteem for the artistic and inspirational value of her art.
In recent years, so valued has Davson's work become, that much of her art has sold to investors and superannuation funds. Such is the regard for the investment value of her art.
Davson's work has been celebrated with major survey exhibitions of her art. Such exhibitions are only mounted, displayed and toured if the artist has excelled and is considered a creative leader . The calibre of Davson’s art, and the high level of esteem concerning her respected place in the chronicle of our times, is evidenced by such exhibitions from which many have benefited.
The Davson - World Leaders & Enlightenment collection is currently being assembled. World leaders from varied fields are working to ensure success for this collection which is planned to tour in prominent art galleries, museums and other public venues.
These major survey exhibitions of Davson’s art contain many of her most acclaimed works from 1973 to 2006, encapsulating unique and definitive collections of Davson’s personal globalism. These collections also include several rare preliminary images for her major works.
They celebrate the work of this internationally acknowledged Australian artist, and are a visual expression of her care and concern for all inhabitants of our planet and its environment. On viewing these works, it is easy to understand why Davson is known as the artist world leaders follow.
For the three years, 1999-2002, a large retrospective collection of her art titled, Davson - With Gratitude For The Light, toured in four states of Australia . Works were borrowed from many collections including: James Fairfax AO, Cathay Pacific Airlines, Time Life Warner, Konica, the Rooty Hill RSL Club & Resort, the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the Ian Fairweather Art Gallery & Museum and many others.
For the art patron, involvement with the art of Davson can be a visual feast, stimulating and enlightening the mind and soul, satisfying emotions, enriching and rewarding on many different levels . Her work encompasses multi-dimensionally benefiting relationships.
Sharon Davson ADFA, Dip.T., is an internationally successful and inspirational Australian artist, writer, public speaker and global citizen.
For a modern artist, Davson has had relatively few exhibitions in commercial galleries. Her unique and detailed work has usually SOLD before being created . Since 1984, her art has been pre-sold to collectors, who have gained much more than a painting, in Australia, America, New Zealand and Japan.
Davson's artwork is represented in over 35 public art galleries, city or university collections including a major work in the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Very significant works are included in well over 60 corporate collections including World Book Encyclopaedia, Chicago, USA.
Her art was gifted by the QLD State Branch of the Duke Of Edinburgh Award Society to HRH Prince Philip in 1973; and by Australian Walkabout to a member of the Malaysian Royal Family during the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kula Lumpur.
Davson has an extraordinary influence; her accomplished and innovative contribution to art, her initiation and dedicated efforts with the Davson Foundation, 48 Hours Toward World Peace and Artists For Life, and her care of all in our global community spans three decades of a personal journey.
A practitioner of Sukyo Mahikari, Davson is a deeply spiritual person dedicated to peace and harmony . Her distinctive, high quality art has strength in its spiritual basis and active concern for all inhabitants of our Earth.
Davson is also a woman of adventurous spirit who embarked on a SOLO journey with her dog and horse across Australia . For nearly three years, in the early 1980’s, she drove a large old ex-government bus towing a horse float that contained her horse and motorbike . This multi-year odyssey was funded exclusively by her efforts . She regarded it as her apprenticeship on Australia . It consolidated the jig-saw imagery with a message based realism in her artistic style.
Her first solo art exhibition in 1982 grew from this bus, horse and dog journey . It featured delicately rendered, insightful, anti-apathy drawings using jig-saw motifs validating maturity and originality. The exhibition sold out.
A one-hour television documentary was filmed about her solo journeys and art in South Australia in 1983.
