Webster Street Art Gallery presents an exhibit of paintings by Monterey artist Cyndy Davis. The collection, consisting primarily of paintings from her travels and the people, animals, and scenery she's encountered, will be on display through September 2024 at 188 Webster Street in Downtown Old Monterey.
Cyndy Davis's love of travel began as a child - by the time she was 18 she had lived on 4 continents. Travel, learning, and exploring are her passion. She taught art in the public schools for apx. 37 years in places such as Oklahoma, California, and Queensland, Australia. She is now retired and lives in Monterey.
Cyndy writes: "My Travel Series began with travel journals that included drawings of places I visited. The drawings evolved into picture composites to help me remember and understand where I was visiting. This travel series was inspired by those black and white drawings. People I meet impress themselves into my memory while the landscape flows through design. One painting often takes many months to work out - they are not random, but thoughtfully composted to tell my story of a place."
Cyndy writes: "My series of animal paintings is entitled the Defaunaion Series. The definition of 'defaunation' is the depletion and extinction of animal species due to human population growth. I've had personal experience and contact with each of these animals. In the paintings, you will notice the human figures in the negative space. I have pieced the canvases together in a patchwork fashion to symbolize out worldwide social and legal efforts in wildlife conservation."

There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names. These days, he’s known simply as “B.” And he wants to be able to die.
In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all B needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.
China Mieville’s and Keanu Reeves have created something utterly unique, sure to delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.
