February's Featured Artists - Husband & Wife - Jon Davenport & Christy Kinard

by Mari Robeson


It’s the month of Love and I can’t think of a better way to kick it off but with a truly charming Love Story of artists, Jon Davenport and Christy Kinard! It’s seriously the most endearing Episode. A Southern Bell meets a British Man in the most romantic city of Venice, Italy. Their journey from how they met, their life in London, to now living in Atlanta and raising three boys, made for a very interesting interview!

Christy’s mixed media paintings are an explosion of color and inspiration. So much so, it was her art and her studio floor - that’s right - I said floor, that inspired Jon to create his own incredible works of art.

Jon was in the world of advertising and web design before meeting Christy. You can see his keen eye for composition, color and design, in all of his paintings. Jon is also a mixed media artist and they both work together in their home studio. In this Episode they share what it’s like to sell your work in galleries, selling art on-line, how they create their work, and creating a line of products with their art.

Recently Jon & Christy launched Kinard Studio. A new line of product created from their art. For the month of February, they are very generously offering proceeds of the sale of their ‘Black Star - Yoga Leggings’, to go to the Louise Monforte Memorial Art & Dance Scholarships.
