   Dana Irving is a Canadian landscape painter living in Vancouver, BC. At once whimsical and serene, Dana's paintings spark admiration and contemplation in the viewer, inviting them to guess at the stories that unfold in her unique landscapes. Her work has been compared to both Emily Carr and Dr. Seuss, and both hold in her incredibly creative approaches to painting the Canadian landscape. Dana's use of striking, saturated colour and smooth, seamless brushwork created a mesmerizing combination to entice reflection and celebration. Masterfully capturing the landscapes we hold dear, Dana's sense of wonder and awe for place is unmatched.

   “Art is a way of life and I create 24 hours a day…maybe not always holding a brush, but by seeing, thinking, and feeling. All my paintings are inspired in some way or another by the environment surrounding me whether it be a specific mountain, waterfall, or an abstract shape. If my heart skips a beat, I take a second look to absorb and analyze. The simplest things capture my attention; the way light bounces off the water and rocks in a stream, the contrast of snow against the warm under brush, creating abstracted forms....it all sparks an emotional cord.” – Linda Wilder
