About Dana 

I’m an artist based in South Gippsland, Victoria, working from a small studio attached to a farm shed, looking out to green paddocks, cows and Wilsons Prom. This place shapes my work. It’s quiet, real and full of space to play.

​

I create one-off monoprints—each a unique impression that can’t be repeated. I’m drawn to this medium because it allows for spontaneity and surprise. Colours shift, shapes blur, and what begins as a clear idea often transforms into something new. I like that. It reminds me that art doesn’t need to be perfect to feel true.

​

My tools are simple: a gel plate, acrylic paint, rollers, and shapes cut from found or recycled materials. I’m not formally trained and I see that as a strength. It frees me from rules and keeps my process playful and intuitive. My work is about exploration, joy and the moment something unexpected appears on the plate and makes me smile.

​

Right now, I’m creating monoprints for material, bags and vase casings — small pieces of art that carry a sense of place and personality. This medium feels like home and I’m excited to keep following where it leads.
