Dana Irving
Dana Irving, "Medicine Lake," nd
oil on canvas, 40" x 60"
Dana Irving's style translates the landscape into shapes, colour and movement that speak of a dreamy, flowing natural world. In every panting you can see and feel Dana's background in music, her deep affection for nature and the indelible mark nature has left on her.
Dana grew up in rural Prince George, BC and has settled on the West Coast. Living in the Pacific Northwest, Dana turns her artistic expression toward the spacious forests of ancient trees, the mountains, the ocean, the emerald green rivers and the moody weather around it all.
"There is such a joy, for an artist, to connect with your audience in any art form. For me as a painter, to interpret the inspiring beauty of the Canadian landscape and present it in my own unique language is enjoyable in itself, but to connect with the viewer in that same language is a thrill beyond measure. What a privilege it is." - DI
