Dana Blanchard

Artist  Statement

My work is contemporary. 
Whether evocative abstracts or contemplative landscapes,
 my paintings are distillations. 
They are the essence of suspended worlds in color and light.

For Dana, immersion in art has been lifelong.  Her artistic potential was cultivated early with private tutoring as a child and progressed through university study.  However, a doctorate degree and subsequent careers in higher education sequestered art into a personal arena.  In 2002, Dana became an active career artist marketing her work primarily on the East Coast.  In particular, both the Limner Gallery and Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in NYC have given her invaluable exposure through juried competitions and gallery invitations.  Dana has recently moved to Texas and is very pleased to join the vibrant art world of her new home.
