i.e. is pleased to present  Margaret Davidson's newest body of work in a solo exhibit.

Fir Island artist Margaret Davidson draws with a zen - like attention observing everyday objects. With her simple tool kit of pencils and a still life arrangement she brings a focus that allows us to better see the intrinsic beauty in the mundane: a birch log, old buttons, a layer of sand, a discarded mailer. At times these objects are in startling juxtapositions, but mostly they are just straightforward and sensitively drawn. Sometimes the drawings are on other objects instead of on paper, perhaps a bowl or a twig. And, just as in life, sometimes the drawings are witty or political. There is a whole world in Margaret Davidson's drawings.

Davidson received her MFA in printmaking and drawing from the University of Washington. She has taught at Cornish College of the Art,  Gage Academy and Pratt Fine Art Center of Seattle. In 2011 her popular book, Contemporary Drawing : Key Concepts and Techniques was published.
