Davidson's Studio is located on the old Wilderness Trail blazed by Daniel Boone and his men. This road went from Cumberland Gap to Boonesborough and was traveled by soldiers during the Civil War and possibly the War of 1812 also. Stagecoach Inns were located along this route, providing food and lodging for travelers and their horses. Davidson, a descendent of one of Boone's men, and her husband, Armel, live on a farm on this historic scenic route. She was born here, the fourth of five children of Henry C. and Addie (Dooley) Martin, in one of the renovated log structures that once was used as a stagecoach inn. Having had no formal art education, she attributes any success that may be achieved to a God-given talent. She has said, "If my work brings a smile or a bit of enjoyment to its viewers, my goal has been accomplished. To me, art is more than canvas, paint and brushes, it is something I feel inside with great urgency to express on canvas to be shared with others."She is troubled by the crime, violence and hatred in our world today and says these cannot come from hearts filled with the love of God.

"We can feed and nourish our body. We can educate our mind. But only the love of God can make us kind."--mmd

Jesus answered..."Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. John 3-3.
