Love Grows Here
Love Grows Here is a museum-quality collection of original mixed-media collages that celebrate the poetry of home, garden, memory, and imagination. Each piece begins with hand-painted watercolor passages, authentic paint spills, organic pigment blooms, and intuitive brushwork before being layered with carefully selected printed patterns, hand-cut shapes, and abstract floral elements.
Unlike digitally generated imagery, every composition carries the evidence of the artist's hand. Watercolor flows where gravity allowed it to travel. Pigment gathers naturally at edges. Transparent washes overlap with deliberate imperfections that create depth, movement, and emotional resonance. These unexpected moments cannot be manufactured—they are discovered.
Throughout the collection, oversized berries, textured gingham baskets, tiny hearts, storybook houses, and decorative birds create visual narratives that unfold slowly. Every element is intentionally placed, not merely arranged. Relationships between shapes, colors, and motifs are considered with the same care one might curate objects within a beautifully designed home. A floral pathway may lead to a hidden house. A basket may share petals with a neighboring vase. Small details reward repeated viewing.
The palette is both sophisticated and joyful, balancing rich greens with vibrant reds, luminous pinks, touches of gold, and soft watercolor neutrals. Decorative patterns are elevated through scale, layering, and painterly intervention, transforming familiar motifs into contemporary works of art.
The collection honors generations of makers, illustrators, textile designers, and decorative artists while presenting a distinctly modern point of view. Every collage bridges fine art and design, making the work equally at home within curated residential interiors, boutique hospitality projects, luxury retail environments, and private collections.
At its heart, Love Grows Here is about abundance, optimism, and the beauty that emerges when handcrafted details are allowed to tell a larger story. Each work is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and discover something new.
Very Luxe. Very Joan Davis.
