Greetings!

I am a Self Taught Artist and I'm delighted to say, I have sold my paintings worldwide. I grew up in Spokane, WA and then after marrying my husband (of 18 years) we then moved to Ohio, Nebraska, and then to our state of Oregon. Even though, I took my husband's last name of Slatick, I use "Dana Marie" , which is my first and middle name.

I am an Indepedant Professional Artist and I'm delighted to say, I have sold my paintings worldwide.

Painting is not only my profession, it is my passion! It is a tangible way that I am able to share with others a piece of who I am...an expression of me. Each stroke is a verse...each verse comes together as one to tell yet another story. We may look at a painting and see a flower...a tree...but if "breathe in" that same painting we may see from a much different perspective...we may be able to begin to see the layers of unspoken feelings expressed on the canvas. My hope is that my passion is seen and felt through each piece I create.

Needless to say, I absolutely LOVE what I do and I hope it shows at least a little in each piece I create. ;)

You should never find yourself bored when visiting "what's new" and up for sell as I love to explore and expand in all directions with my art. I never wanted to feel "boxed into" having to stay with a certain style, certain medium, a certain general theme....no, no, no that is just not me! :) I listen to my heart and with my brush and canvas, I hope I create something you may like as your own!

Thank you for your interest in my work.
