Each image here presented is a thread of light, beauty, and love that my dearest Mother, Eyre Davisson, helped me to create. It is with the utmost love and heartfelt gratitude that I dedicate this site and its intent to her. She gave me life and she was the constant and most tender spiritual midwife to each blessed creation here before you. God Speed, Mama!

Eyre Davisson
(16 December, 1927 - 18 January 2004)

My artwork is dedicated to the sacredness of all life wherever I find it. My principal sources of inspiration are wildlife and indigenous cultures throughout the world. I see and express "spirit" through my collage work and I believe this to be my life-long journey.

I am grateful to and deeply honored by each element that comes into my collages in such a variety of ways - family, friendships, travels and solitary walks on quiet woodland trails. I am further humbled by the divine that is constantly unfolding in the most unexpected places and presences.

My collages are a piecing together of my travels - internal and through different parts of the world. Each journey has brought with it its unique treasures - a feather; a battered cross lost in a parking lot; an article of clothing worn religiously through a particular time and experience; an image discovered during a museum visit, or a quote found at the entrance of an ancient church.

As a journey artist, it is my task and my joy to keep traveling with my eyes and heart open.

I wish to make special mention of the logo I have chosen for my work. It is with humility and gratitude that I have chosen The Man in the Maze symbol to accompany me on my creative adventure.This symbol truly belongs to the Tohono O'odham People of Arizona and Mexico.

"The tiny figure( U'ki'ut'l) seeks a deeper meaning of life. The center of the circle stands for that deeper meaning. The journey through life is often puzzling and difficult, but the People must struggle and work for that deeper meaning." http://www.riverusers.com

I wish to thank the Tohono O'odham People for such a perfect representation for all of us and it is with deep respect that I use this symbol in my life and work.
