Dana's work concentrates on creating abstract surfaces through her favorite medium; acrylics, but works in oil and has experimented with a variety of mixed media such as pastels, ink, wire, fabric, silk screen and many others.

Dana is captivated by the colors she can create, and strives to construct an entire world on her canvas.

Dana paints to ‘express’, conjuring abstract images found in nature and captured through her love of photography. Her art style is also contemporary, utilizing different art methods.

She is interested in a variety of elements involved in the creation and destruction of surfaces – regularity and irregularity and the relationship between minimal form and surface texture. [/read]
