About Sam Davidson, 2012 Printmaker's Hand Juror: After an art history degree at Wesleyan University and an M.A. at the University of Massachusetts, Davidson worked for the campus print-gallery chain, Ferdinand Roten, before coming back to Seattle. After trying various locations he settled in at 313 with ample space for the galleries' strengths: antique, modern and contemporary prints; and contemporary painting and sculpture with an emphasis on realism.

"Our success (at Davidson Gallery) is due to our multi-pronged programming approach, but also because we train our staff to engage people so they can get whatever price range they want," Davidson mentioned. "We want to help them so they can distinguish what an original print is and not buy a photographic or digital reproduction passed off as an original print."
