Each month’s show includes a featured Artist of the Month. Exhibits change monthly, coinciding with Colonial Beach’s Second Friday Art Walk (6-9pm).

Mary Davenport, Featured Artist
March 2026

The opening is Friday, March 13, from 6-9, and the show runs from March 13 – April 5.

The Artists’ Alliance (AA) at Jarrett Thor Fine Arts is pleased to feature painter Mary Davenport for the month of March. Painting with acrylics and sometimes collaging, this naive artist has found her way through deep personal loss to express herself in ways that are exciting, dynamic and tell a story. She began painting through a friendship with Connie Canby who is one of the directors at the Alliance. Connie suggested she try her hand at painting and from there creativity has evolved. Starting from that initial encouragement Mary continues to bring her authentic and expressive approach to many local subjects.

In addition to the featured show, AA members are displaying an array of painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, jewelry, and wood furniture in the main galleries.

Carl and Joyce Thor continue to sell their art in the adjoining galleries. The gallery is located at 100 Taylor St., Suite 101, in Colonial Beach. The public is invited free of charge. The gallery is open Friday – Sunday, 11-5. For information call 804 224 7200, 804 224 6007, or 301 452 1333, artgallerycolonialbeach.com.
