Dana Rae Roudebush grew up on a farm in Hamilton County, Indiana with lots of animals and a big garden. Chances are this country background is the source of the prolific artist's abiding love of nature and especially her powerful, lifelong affinity for the animal kingdom.
The source of her passion for color is more of a mystery, but the result of that passion is a crucial aspect of her style, and as canvases spring to life they reveal an unexpected, often whimsical take on her subject. And yet it's a take that seems exactly right. She enjoys sharing the love of all animals and how they impact our lives. Dana has a gift: the ability to intuit the essential nature of her subject and then to reveal it in artistic terms. That means that whether she is commissioned to paint a pet's portrait or create unique images, the resulting artwork is inevitably fine art. "Nature inspires me, Color drives me." |
