Dana Irving: Featured Artist
When Music Meets Painting
To stand in front of one of Dana Irving's paintings is magical. You can see and sense the flow, rhythm and connection that each element posses. Dana’s expertise lies in channeling the currents that course through each of us into art. A musician as well as a landscape painter, she fabulously shows the viewer how different mediums inform each other. The result is a unique style that incorporates music, painting and a beautiful use of colour to transport the viewer into a dreamlike world.
Dana's unique style has been described as “Emily Carr meets Dr. Seuss”. Drawn to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Dana finds inspiration in the spacious forests of ancient trees, the mountains, the ocean, the emerald green rivers and the moody weather around it all.
Dana Irving's unique style is melodic, fun and so memorable!
"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." - DI
