| Native Californian, Dana Price, grew up in Los Angeles
in a family where artistic and creative expression were encouraged
at an early age. Her formal training began in music and included piano,
violin, guitar and voice. Dana turned to the visual arts in the mid
80’s while living in Oakland where she raised her family and
taught art to children in the Oakland Public Schools and privately
in her home for over ten years. Her fabric dolls, hand painted quilts
and fabric collages were exhibited at the Oakland Museum, the Festival
of the Lake, the SF Mission Cultural Center , the San Francisco Zoo,
and the Ryman Arts Foundation in Los Angeles. Other projects included
decorative furniture painting and costume and prop design for Bay
Area dance and theatre groups.
Her current passion is multi-medium mosaic inspired by her life
on a houseboat in Sausalito and her many trips to Mendocino where
she collects glass and shells weathered, broken down and made smooth
by the strong tides and currents of the ocean. Her studio is located
in a converted 1970 Crown school bus right on the waterfront. She
has over 30 works on display at her houseboat. These include a bird
bath, a patio table, mirrors, a trellis at her entrance gate, an
abalone duck, and many mosaics depicting the bird and sea life of
the areas where she lives and travels.
