“Step Free” an exhibit of painting and photography by Wes Davis and Jayme Goodwin




This month Beatnik Studios will feature artworks by Wes Davis and Jayme Goodwin. Showing together for the first time Wes and Jayme will be exhibiting works on the beauty grace and flow of Dance and Skateboarding. This show will depict the similarities between the two seemingly different talents.

Wes Davis Graduated from Sac State with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography. He was instrumental in the creation of Beatnik Studios. Currently he works as a professional photographer, shooting for several publications in Sacramento such as Submerge and Sacramento News and Review. Wes has always been a skateboarder and has been photographing it for years as a passion project. This will be the first time Wes has shown this body of work.

Jayme Goodwin Graduated from Sac State with a BA in art. Currently he works at Pretty in Ink as a Tattoo artist. Jayme has been fascinated with painting dancers for some time now. His work is muted with eerie undertones but is captivating in the way he depicts the grace and beauty of his subject. “I love painting dancers because the whole art form is visual. They are aware of every square inch of their bodies and how it is perceived by the viewer.”
