Testimonials
Getting to know Dana, both as a remarkable human being and as a gifted artist, has been a great joy. I'm lucky to own several of her drawings, and each one stops me in my tracks. They're so lifelike, and the composition, quality and care in every detail are stunning. But what moves me even more is the energy Dana brings to her work. You can feel the love she puts into every piece. She also shows up for her community and gives back to charitable causes, which makes having her art in my home feel even more meaningful. If you're thinking of honoring a beloved animal, I can't recommend Dana highly enough.

.I met Dana about 50 years ago through the Lpga. We connected again through Facebook.
I run a small animal rescue, St. Francis CARE in Illinois. Dana saw that we were having a fundraiser and decided to donate to portraits. Her work is beautiful and we auctioned them for 100% profit. Then she took it one step further and anyone that ordered a portrait through St Francis, Dana donated a portion of that. I have two portraits of my animals that Dana has drawn and they are prized possessions. Her talent and generosity is something to be admired.

.I commissioned Dana to paint a portrait of my husband and our dog. Our dog and my husband are absolute best friends! I sent Dana my favorite picture of the two of them and when I received the portrait in the mail I was stunned!! It looked so realistic and looked exactly like the original picture but as a portrait. I will never be able to thank my friend Dana for what she did for me and for my husband.
