DANA PETERSON

"Through art I have embarked on a new journey of discovery and creativity.

I am in love with painting and drawing, addicted to colours and textures. This journey is the greatest journey of all."

Dana's art communicates her enjoyment of life and travel experiences through a strong reflection of colour. Her work divides space into successive planes through a shifting focus. It involves no idea of completion but seeks to open the imagination and let it roam across forms and empty spaces, resulting in a wonderful imagery of colour and contemporary design.

 Dana was born in Melbourne and studied hairdressing at Kramers Hairdressing College, Collins Street Melbourne. Travelling to New Zealand, cruising to the U.K. Dana worked in London, Vienna, Athens, Menorca, New York and Johannesburg, returning to Sydney six years later. Dana studied with the College of Colour and Design, Sydney, for two years and applied her knowledge to interior and fashion.

 Now settled in Cleveland, Dana has successfully completed Painting at the Open College of Art with tutor Dr. Irene Amos O.A.M. attended three Mc.Gregor Schools at the University of Southern Queensland and studied with The Brisbane Institute of Art.
