Artist Spotlight: Colorful Paintings by Dana Cowie

Milla 2 - Painting

While conducting my daily browse, I came across an artist named Dana Cowie... Her work consists of paintings, drawings, illustrations, concept illustrations, murals, portraits and styling. Not only is her use of color beautiful, but the subjects of her artwork are creatively composed in such a way that conveys a whimsical feeling.

Dana Cowie has worked as a Stylist and Window Dresser, therefore drawing much of her inspiration from past and present fashion. In addition, she also cites family, friends and general social interactions as contributing to the inspiration behind much of her work. Cowie describes herself as a dreamer, and explains that her work tends to resemble that trait in that it is “A little bit all over the place.” Personally, I feel it is important to dream, and especially for those dreams to influence ones self-expression as often as possible... As well, I tend to be a little "all over the place" in my creative expressions and in my aspirations for this life. However, I see that as a blessing that will keep my life rich and full of purpose. With that said, I can very much appreciate Dana Cowie's description of her work!

Special thanks to Dana Cowie for allowing me to use the photographs in this post! Check out her website www.dcowie.com.
