Wild white horses galloping at full speed along a deserted beach… pelicans settling in for the night as the Naples sun sets behind them… a Japanese maple tree with branches outstretched into an autumn scene. Photographer David K. Beavis’ images of natural beauty inevitably arouse curiosity among viewers, a characteristic that speaks to the intriguing nature of his work—all of which is framed and ready for discovery at the lensman’s new eponymous gallery (his second in the U.S. after Park City, Utah) in Downtown Naples.
“It’s always been my vision to have more than one gallery to share my work and Naples checked all the boxes,” says Beavis, an Australia native who moved to the Gulf Coast with his wife and children in 2021. “Our location on the corner of Fifth Avenue South and Fifth Street is more than I could have dreamed of having.”
Said space features 3,100 square feet solely dedicated to Beavis’ work, nature-centric imagery that nods to realism yet blurs the line between photography and painting.
“People tend to be much calmer and happier when surrounded by images of natural beauty because they have a way of keeping you balanced and in harmony with what’s important in life,” says Beavis. “I believe every indoor space needs to have a touch of the outdoors within it.”
