Dana Shavin - Chattanooga, TN
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Dana moved to the spectacular north Georgia mountains in 1986, after earning her MS in Psychology at Augusta State University.
After 10 years in the mental health profession, she decided to pursue art full time, exhibiting for 15 years on the national art festival circuit.
Shavin’s paintings are acrylic on canvas, finished with a clear, brush-on gloss and framed in black handmade floater frames. Her style is quirky, upbeat, intensely colorful, contemporary and inventive. Many of her works have recurring imagery of flowers and “The White Dog.” Dana’s flowers are typically vibrant, textural tulips with a feeling of movement that convey happiness and hopefulness. The white dog Dana says, is ‘the “every-dog”—that is my artistic representation of every dog that has ever been found wandering a rural road, or city street, or begging for food at a gas station, or awaiting a home at a shelter, or brought into a family by any means by people eager to love and care for him.’
