Dana S. Whitney has worn many hats prior to concentrating on
her artistic endeavors. Californian by
birth, and a recent transplant to Southern New
Hampshire , she responds to colors, shapes and design. She is primarily self taught with invaluable
help from books, lectures and mentoring from fellow artists. She works most often in oils and pastels, but
seldom passes up the opportunity to try something new. Encaustics, fiber and watercolor are on the
horizon.
“I’ve always been fascinated by arts, crafts, artists and
craftspeople. My path took me the long
way around; I was a student, a librarian, a parent, and then a psychotherapist –
always an observer. Finally the urge for
self expression burst forth and I began drawing, painting, and creating. Best and biggest leap of faith ever.”
