Dana Statham is a self-taught artist from the Comox Valley. She is grateful to currently live on lək̓ʷəŋən territory in Victoria, BC, Canada. Using bold, intentional brushstrokes of acrylic paint, she captures coastal British Columbia with a vibrancy that is rooted in her admiration for the landscape. Growing up on Vancouver Island provided abundant inspiration for her creative process. Coastal shorelines, arbutus trees, and underwater kelp gardens are common themes in her work.
I paint various local landscapes using acrylic paint on canvas. I have my paintings professionally photographed for fine art reproduction, and a local Ladysmith company creates high-quality giclee prints on canvas or paper. This allows me to offer a range of options for people who are keen to welcome local art into their home, even if they are on a budget. Additionally, my talented husband builds beautiful frames for my art using local wood.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
