Dana Nash

Des Plaines, Illinois

Artist's Statement

We are drawn to beauty, nature, a magnificent sunset and most importantly, color. I prefer the impressionistic, the painterly, and the romantic, coupled with limpid and lush color. The end result will be a "pretty picture".

D. A. Nash received a B.A. from the Art Institute of Chicago, studies included but not limited to Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, The American Academy of Fine Art and The Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Art, Chicago.

Ms. Nash is also a member of the Illinois Watercolor Society, "current president", and the National Arts Association, "director".

Dana illustrated automobiles for Hot Rod Publications. Funny Car owner, Don Purdhome, drag racer, Don Garlits; as well as, Indy racer Gary Bettenhausen had their car portraits done by Nash in the 1970’s.

Murals were a specialty for Dana in the 70’s, painting scenery in the McCormick Building on Michigan Avenue and later painting murals in the Tampa, Florida hotels. Later years murals were painted in private homes around the Chicago area.
