When Silobration kicks off later this month, the Waco art community will be well-represented.

Wendy Michelle Davis will be one of those artists featured at Silobration, which will be October 22–25 at the Magnolia silos, 601 Webster Avenue.

“It’s important to me because I am a Waco artist, and part of what I love to do is to support local artists too,” she said. “I love that they’re wanting to support local artists and local businesses. And I think that is important to Magnolia and to the Gaineses as well.

“I like that it brings so much attention to Waco, because I think Waco is a fantastic town and community. It also gives artists and vendors a place to show their work and be seen.”

This will be the second year that Davis has been part of Silobration. In her 10-foot-by-10-foot space, she said she’ll have available postcards of her art that cost $5, original paintings with prices in the thousands and lots in between.

“I’ll have some calendars, archival prints, so really good quality prints available and I’ll probably do a few framed things too,” she said. “I really enjoy Silobration because I love interior design and it gives me a chance to style my booth a little bit more and make it a little more unique to who I am.”

And she’s a big fan of the artists and others who will also be at Silobration.

“The food vendors are fantastic,” she said. “I have a hard time not spending all my money on all the other vendors that are there because they’re so good. I always bring a budget where I can shop from other vendors because I love supporting other artists and vendors, but it’s a great place to get all your Christmas shopping done and some shopping for yourself.”

Davis has been a fulltime professional artist for six years. She grew up in California, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English, and has lived and taught English classes in many places, including Abu Dhabi, her last stop before moving to Waco about eight years ago.

“I’ve lived all over,” she said. “I’ve lived in Asia. I’ve lived in the Middle East. I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest, but Texas is home. I’m not planning on going anywhere. I love it here.”

The list of local vendors alongside Davis at Silobration include Beachy’s Baking Co., By Summer Delashaw, Central Goods, GRACEFULLY Jewelry, Her Table, S.O.S. Cotton Candy and Studio Orch.
