Drawings for Purchase by Carol Prud’homme Davis
Artist Statement:I have created art my entire life, especially art inspired by dance. I danced professionally, had a dance company and then a production company which included arts education so that my dancers were equipped with the tools they needed to choreograph their own stories.
In 2009, I found myself laid off, between jobs. I turned to my husband and said,” I want to finally pursue my wildest dream and be a working artist.” He said “Go for it!” and suggested that I go out in the street and draw what I see. When I got pretty good at that, I wanted to go out and draw dance movements at studios and theatres.
I started to call studios and dance companies asking to come and draw their classes and rehearsals. Sandra Cameron, 3-time Ballroom Champion, allowed me to come and draw any class I wished at her dance center. I had never learned Ballroom Dance, so I found I had to learn the techniques by watching as I drew: Tango, Waltz, Fox Trot and my favorite Swing.
Later on I was invited to the Peridance Center. Igal Perry, Artistic Director and Owner, had been a ballet teacher of mine when I was dancing professionally, so I felt comfortable going to his dance center and asking to draw. I became a resident visual artist at the Center and was allowed to draw any class style.
In 2020, during the global pandemic, I drew zoom classes and choreography from all over the world. To date I have drawn and archived about 100 dance teachers, choreographers, and dancers from a variety of dance forms.
Now I am back home, at Peridance.
