Ep. 6 - Keri Davis: From Funk Bands & Opera to Owning Pacesetter Gallery – Building Community Through Mississippi Art
<p>In this heartfelt conversation on Oh, For the Love of Art!, host Sam Bishop sits down with Keri Davis, owner of Pacesetter Gallery in Flowood, Mississippi. Keri shares her unconventional path—from studying opera and singing in a funk band, to earning an art education degree at the University of North Texas, teaching middle school, running a multi-million-dollar business, and finally following a divine nudge to open her own gallery focused exclusively on Mississippi artists.</p><p>Discover how Keri blends her love of music, watercolor, acrylic, and printmaking with her mission to champion over 60 local artists across mediums like pottery, sculpture, and mixed media. She opens up about the discipline of artmaking (inspired by her early lessons drawing spheres and cones for a week!), the emotional rollercoaster of being an artist, mentoring shy young creatives, and why art "saves" people by providing connection, expression, and community.</p><p>Keri also discusses her major contributions to Mississippi tourism—curating art collections for all 11 state welcome centers—and her vision for making Mississippi art more visible and monetizable. Whether you're an aspiring artist, collector, educator, or simply someone who believes art enriches life, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on discipline, vulnerability, rejecting elitism in the art world, and living a purpose-driven creative life.</p><p>Tune in for stories that remind us: art isn't just about selling pieces—it's about stories, soul, and setting the pace for a vibrant creative community in Mississippi.</p>
