'Blue Inlet' Wrapped Canvas Original Seascape Painting by Dana McMillan

2018

Dana has had an interest in the Fine Arts her entire life. Loving to draw at an early age, she studied art and business in college. After graduation, she worked in sales and marketing while continuing to paint. It was something that she loved to do and still loves to this day! Impressionism is the style that she was most drawn to but has developed her own style. Her subject matter typically includes loose landscapes, but she also loves capturing figures; people in their everyday lives. Her heart feels the fullest when she’s surrounded by her family on the beach. The majority of her work features scenic natural locations: a setting sun on the coastline, a river lined with autumn trees, or a summer cottage tucked away. Dana couldn’t be happier with her career path, expressing “having the opportunity to be an artist and paint for a living is the best possible way I could have imagined living my life.” She paints daily, ranging from commissioned pieces to gallery selections.
