From 2003-2005, Davis' works were included in the Celebration of American Women in Art exhibition at the American Embassy in Budapest, Hungary with Lee Krasner and Jennifer Bartlett.

Davis is known for her large scale semi abstract floral works of which she states, "I am a floral painter that does not really paint flowers." Davis uses an imaginary floral form and vivid color to communicate the energy of memory or an experience whether it is spiritual, environmental or social.

Her work can be seen at www.JoanDavisArt.com or in her North Beach studio by appointment.

Davis was involved with Hearts of San Francisco in 2004, creating the Heart entitled, All the Flowers.
