Margo Davis, photographer extraordinaire and author of "Under One Sky"

Margo Davis spent almost 40 years creating the body of work for "Under One Sky". During this time she traveled to every inhabited continent and photographed people from all walks of life. Each photograph in this series reveals Davis' extraordinary talent in connecting with her subjects as well as the technical expertise and finely tuned clarity which years of experience brings to her work.

Margo Davis studied with such seminal California photographers as Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Ruth Bernhard and her work continues on in their classic California tradition of black and white photography. A genuine warmth of spirit permeates each of Margo Davis' photographs, accentuated by the rich tonalities and high level of craftsmanship evident in the printing. Above all, "Under One Sky" brings a welcome visual message of peace and unity to a time heavily laden with images of international turmoil and unrest.

"Under One Sky" contains 60 masterfully printed photographs from the series and an introductory essay by local art historian and photographic scholar Greta Mitchell.
