Dana Frostick
Dana Frostick’s mixed media work is a combination of drawing and painting. Her goal is to allow the artwork to control its eventual outcome. To achieve this, she takes steps to prevent her influence from overcoming the piece and never begins with a preconceived idea of what she wants to create. The drawing is done in sharpie alone to allow for accidents and to prevent reworking a line or pattern. The first lines are applied in a gestural method. The paint is applied in layers.
