MOUNTAIN IRON, Minn. (July 3, 2007) - Finding Jay Davenport's art gallery and studio just got a whole lot easier.

Davenport Art Studio, which opened in 2005, now has a home on the Internet. The studio/gallery is located at www.davenportartstudio.com. The website launched this month, making his art more accessible to visitors.

"It's a way to experience my art without having to make the drive," he said. "But it will also convince people to come out to the gallery for a personal tour."

The website features more than 40 images of Davenport's work, including several from his latest exhibition "Born in America," a series of large, watercolor portraits of Native Americans, based on archival photographs taken at the turn of the 20^th century. It also includes several of his woodcut prints and landscape watercolors.

"The quality of the images online gives people a pretty good idea of what my art is all about," he said. It's easy to pick out favorites, then come and see them in person.

Online visitors can get detailed directions to the gallery, which is located about 65 miles north of Duluth, plus pricing information, gallery updates and a biographical narrative of Davenport's careers as a physician and artist.

Davenport is planning his second art show in November, featuring new works and mediums. Details on the event will be announced soon and will be posted on his website.

The artist continues to receive media coverage for his work, including a feature story in the July 2007 issue of Minnesota Medicine, a journal of the Minnesota Medical Association.
