Profile
Dana Finch
2016
I keep painting, trying to find that elusive balance between description and mystery, inviting the viewer to make their own sense of often illogical narratives, disrupted conventions and happy accidents. My source material is the earth and plants around us, and further afield. I love deserts, and dry, hot places. Not quite sure how I ended up in Cornwall!
I show regularly at Eastwood Fine Art, Stockbridge, Iona House Gallery, Woodstock, Prince and Pilgrim, London and Birdie Fortescue, Fakenham.
I am also a member of the collective, Oneiric Lettuce Tent. Look out for our upcoming show at Morvah Schoolhouse!
