Dana vanWestrienen

Pencil on paper, paint and brush are the tools I use to make either an inner emotional landscape or to express the emotional way an actual landscape makes me feel.  The tension between these two real places prompts me to create, to imagine, to complete the vision I see and feel. Often the paintings have figures in them and a story begins to evolve. It is satisfying to my very soul to visualize, and to make visible that, which is for me, where the numinous resides.
