Davetta

Natalie Voelker (b.1978) undertook a BA in fine art at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Her work has been seen in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the United States, including the site-specific installation ‘Divinely Human: the Three Graces’ at SOMOS Albuquerque.
The portrait is of Davetta, the mother of a friend of the artist. Davetta chose to be painted in the pottery studio of the local seniors’ centre where she was working on creating a large ceramic bowl. Voelker says: ‘she enchanted me with her thoughtful perspectives and incredible life experiences. Davetta has been through it all and lives to tell the tales.’
