\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I really love the work of Jennifer Davis<\/a>, she’s a master at combining colors and patterns into beautiful and wild works of art. The following pieces are from her most recent exhibition Joyride<\/em> on display at the Public Functionary<\/a> in Minneapolis, MN. This show is a product of a grant Jennifer received two years ago that allowed her to travel across the US to cities famous for their old carousels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m just ecstatic about the hand painted carousel horses and I hope Jennifer continues with 3-dimensional art in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
