California-born Davo Sherman ("Davo" as he
signs his work and wishes to be known), rubbed elbows
with the likes of Ansel Adams and Brett Wilson in 1960's
Carmel. Although strongly influenced by these masters of
photography, Davo never lost his urge to paint. Later,
his travels took him to the South Pacific, where he
lived with the indigenous people of Tahiti, Samoa,
Ponape, Kapingamarangi, Kusai, Truk, and many other
islands. These experiences, along with later encounters
with Andy Warhol and others, contributed to the creation
of his unique and highly-acclaimed "neo-pop" style.
