ABOUT DANA HUHN
With a background in fine arts, graphic arts, small business and an Art History degree (UBC), Dana Huhn ran a handbag + accessory brand called UBAGZ DESIGNS from 2004-2009. Quickly, her brand expanded into home décor & other items and were featured in magazines & newspapers locally and internationally.
Years later, she looped back to her original passion: Abstract Painting. After discovering pour painting her love for painting re-awakened and she has been pouring out paintings ever since. She works out of a home-based studio in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
ABOUT THE ART
I typically do not use a
paintbrush. I pour my paint; tilting and
swaying the paint around on the canvas. Every painting is a unique collaboration
of colour, chemistry, and composition in the moment. I love the spontaneity of action painting. My pieces are made
with acrylics, a variety of paint mediums, and a concoction of household
products. I also use a kitchen torch. For some pieces, I incorporate gold, rose
gold, and silver leaf. I always draw my colour schemes and
inspiration from nature such as a tropical ocean’s coral sea, a snowy BC
mountain landscape, a swirling storm on Jupiter, or a peacock’s feather.
