Dana Dion
Dana Dion was born in Israel and has lived in Tanzania, Canada, USA and the UK. The artist is now based in Australia where she resides with her family. Dana’s abstracted landscapes are influenced by her lifetime connections to the geographies of these countries.
The artist reflects an intense exploration of the world and her subsequent quest for inner expression of that experience. The bold physicality of her painterly surfaces is balanced with a sense of tender vulnerability and an obvious love for the process of painting.
Dana is a studio painter, and she spends most of her time painting from memory and feeling. While out in the landscape, she photographs and sketches, in the privacy of her studio, she creates a dialogue between herself and work that is ongoing, active, and always fresh.
The artist has exhibited widely nationally and internationally and has a growing collector base. Regularly a winner or finalist in major art prizes, Dana Dion’s work is sought after both inside and outside of Australia.
