Dana Irving’s painting style is borne of a deep affection for the Canadian landscape.  From her childhood in rural Prince George, BC, surrounded by pine trees and lakes, to her subsequent home on the West Coast, nature has left an indelible mark on her sense of aesthetics and place.  A musician as well, Irving’s expertise lies in channeling the currents that course through each of us into art, her stylized paintings showing how the different mediums inform each other.

A form of modern day animism, Irving’s aesthetic imparts a synchronous world in which the elements harmoniously swirl as if in awareness of their kindred origins.  It serves as testament to our human experience – rooted in visual representations of the sublime.
