Applying Your Talents | Shirley Ross Davis
Transcript:
Shirley Ross Davis: “We all have talents, associate them and don’t be afraid. I was never schooled in cooking or interior decorating or art- but I was a good cook, What did I do? I looked at Escoffier and saw common denominators and I never thought I shouldn’t do it. And the same thing applied to interior design and the same thing applied to art. Your heart says something between a piece of art if you’re so inclined as does your eye, you can always learn about it later.
You know the perimeters and what is acceptable and what is current, but what I’m really saying is, be the individual that you are and take a chance on that.”
Shirley Ross Davis, American Art collector. Trustee San Francisco Museum Modern Art, since 1986; president Collectors’ Art Forum, San Francisco, 1983-1985.
