In Memory of Bill Davis
"Bill never grew tired of the world, and it never grew tired of him."
Thank you for making a gift in memory of Bill Davis who passed away on January 13, 2020.
Bill dedicated his life to art and his family. He not only ensured his four children had access to
the instruments for creative expression, but he also sought to foster an expression of creativity in
others through volunteering and teaching.
At home he surrounded himself with the curious trappings of the journey his life took him on.
The Davis family home was part museum, library, and art gallery – doors were painted with
family portraits and visual puns, cloudy blue skies and rainbows decorated the stairwells,
emptied ball point pens hung with pride, and art adorned every wall.
Bill also made art his profession. Through his family business, Davis Artworks and Artbear
Pigmation, Bill produced animation for Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, Free to Be You and
Me, Raggedy Anne and Andy, Winky Love, and other pieces that aired on networks such as
Nickelodeon, PBS, HBO, and CBS. Bill also co-authored and published a book exploring the
process of creating and producing animation in a small studio. In his more recent adventures, Bill added a new means of creative expression by making uniquely designed and painted pottery. His artwork is sure to continue to bring joy to all who encounter it.
