Artist Statement/Bio
I'm an intuitive/self-taught artist and I call my work Spirit Portriats. I'm also a creativity mentor, Expressive Arts facilitator, and community organizer. I have a passion for helping people recover and apply their creativity to personal growth, healing trauma, and community-based social change.

I'm a member of the Northampton Arts Council and am involved in several creative community-building efforts in town. I've lived here in Noho since 1996!

Dana's self-taught sensibilities and commitment to expressive improvisation make her work resonate with graffiti, art brut, expressionism, visionary, primitive and outsider art. Spirit Portraits are also a natural extension and exploration of life experience, personal growth, spiritual consciousness, contemplative practices, and her experience surviving and healing from child abuse.

Dana’s mission is to showcase and support personal creativity as an empowering and healthy option for all -- a doorway to self-awareness, deep intelligence, authentic spirituality, healing energy, and joy. She works toward this mission through her products and services:

-Spirit Portraits prints, cards, and originals...
-Creating Live Art / Murals in public...
-Doing Inner Portraits of others...
-Facilitating different kinds of Expressive Arts workshops & sessions...

Hey Dana! its a sinch. Just a little photoshopping action......So guess what?? I bought my beginners kit and soul cards and they came in yesterday! To say the least, I'm excited.I will most definitely be drawing away and hopefully posting some pieces as well. I'm also doing a window display in Sticks and Bricks soon and hope to hang some in there as well.

I can't begin to thank you enough for your guidance. TD is a beautiful, beautiful thing :)

Dana,
I related to DSCo3780, a photo I had taken of a cloud covered full moon "Fireman Waving" (on spiritjourney.biz), made me connect.
Peace,
George
