Bio
Name: Dana
Born: 3/12/79, New York
I am an arts, culture, literature, technology, science and media geek. Equally right and left-brained, obsessed with the influx of information, on a perpetual quest for that which stirs, intrigues, confuses and delights the senses. A compulsive crafter and incurable bibliophile, forever exploring, investigating, creating and collecting. My greatest joy lies in the extreme beauty of the mundane, life’s countless absurdities and the seamless fusion of darkness and light.
Despite my undergraduate English major, I’m now embarking on a grad school journey toward a PhD in Clinical Psychophysiology. Years ago I fell in love with integrative medicine, and eagerly await the chance to become an architect of healing; discovering the infinite possibilities on the fine line where science and spirit connect.
Here’s hoping this little kaleidoscope of my endless passions may somehow enrich the lives of others!

Dana,
I am slowly becoming addicted to your blog. A few of the artists you have posted work from I have seen before, but must are completely new to me. Looking forward to each update. Right up there with Postsecret. Please keep them coming.
Take care, Ted

Good to see that both your interest and your brain are bisymmetrically apportioned (balanced). I thought you might appreciate a bit of geek speak. Great blog!

Hello Dana, I wanted to comment on your introduction. Your choice of adjectives and word structure so eloquently expresses who you are, that the beauty of the picture your paragraph left in my mind, just barely surpasses the beauty of yourself. Thank you for sharing your life’s passion.

I found your blog through google search. I was one of the artists that took part in the Crewest Valentin’s Day project for the Children’s Hospital, I also noticed that your interested in doing this for your local hospital. This is something I would gladly take part in, if your still interested in pursuing something like this..

I was surfing for “pop surrealist art” (I’m a visual artist) and chanced upon your website. I must say…it’s one of the most eclectic, unique and fascinating sites I’ve seen. I like how you explore the links between the different facets of our lives; especially the role of art. There are so many goodies to find here – I’ll certainly be back for more. Splendid.
