Faces are the central theme in Dana’s artworks. With a multitude of expressions, shapes, and nuances, faces provide endless directions to explore. Color also plays an important role in Dana’s art; she worked extensively in theatre, and bold and dramatic colors serve to evoke moods. Surreal elements are ever-present. Juxtaposing dreamlike imagery invites the viewer to make meaning of contrasting elements. Anthropomorphism in Dana’s art investigates humans' complex and alluring connections to animals.
