Dominican University Presents Artist Davis Perkins
A Purposeful Life: Paintings by Davis Perkins will open
November 4th at Dominican University in San Rafael and run through
December 16th. You are invited to hear Davis speak at the opening
reception on November 4th on what has informed his life and inspired
his art. A West End neighbor,
accomplished and talented painter and Signature Member of the Oil Painters of
America, he is as distinguished for his art as he is for a life of service.
Smoke Jumping for the BLM in Alaska defined his early years
and his long and abiding friendships with his fellow smoke jumpers. When he wasn’t smoke jumping he was attending
the University of Oregon where he got his degree in Fine Arts. His early work
was featured in the Alaska State Museum and the Smithsonian Air & Space
Museum. Both museums selected his work
for their permanent collection.
Â
Retired after many years of working as a paramedic, Davis
was not content to be a bystander. He still hears the call to service. Working as a volunteer with Heart to Heart
International, Â he has served as a
paramedic in Liberia during the Ebola outbreak, Nepal after the earthquake,
Lesvos to assist with the Syrian refugees and most recently Haiti after hurricane
Matthew. We feel lucky to call him our West End neighbor, distinguished artist and humanitarian.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Davis speak about a life of purpose and to see his paintings:Â
