Finimore, Dana

I consider my work a series of reactionary attempts to express myself utilizing the abstract language of texture, shape, color and line. I am constantly mindful of how the use of it expresses emotional energy. My work is a concerted response to nature. This doesn’t mean I am trying to reproduce what I see, the work is an impulsive act that fulfills my need to create. Compositional explorations are centered in the ideology of finding catharsis of body and mind. I have an innate need to connect with nature in order to center myself. I express the theme of this transformation intuitively. This lends itself to making work that is completely reactive and without preconceived expectations.
