Dana Carlson

Dana Carlson's work explores materials and markmaking and lots of in-your-face cheesyness- icons like kittens and horses, decorative pattern,puff paint, collage and applique. Though its not called out in her artist statment, there's an organic femininity to the work, in both the shapes and the icons and colors chosen. Dana embraces a sort of "anti-aesthetic", allowing an element of the unpolished as a reprieve from the slickness of modern graphics.
