Dana Jackson Painting in Monet's Garden

“Art is a journey”

Dana Jackson is an experienced artist who travels extensively abroad and around her own country New Zealand in search of inspiring images to paint.

Recent tours through Europe have given her a wide range of vivid images from coasts of cliffs and craggy mountains to lines of characterful buildings dappled with sun and shadow, narrow streets twisting their way between them. The complexity of centuries old cathedrals, castles and fortresses provide her with material which is not available in New Zealand. Touring through different seasons has added even more diversity to the painting possibilities. You will often find a cat, dog, sheep or cows included in her work. 

Dana has been painting since her earliest recollections and is involved in community arts in her home town of Raumati and also in Wellington. She regularly exhibits with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts and has been an invited guest artist for both the New Zealand Water Colour Society and the KACS Society. Exhibitions of her work have taken place in Germany, France, Italy and London. Her paintings can be found in private collections all around the world.
