Dana Oldfather is a self-taught painter whose work was awarded 2nd place in the 2008 9th Annual National Young Painters Competition, selected by the New York painter and art critic Peter Plagens. "Throughout my career as an oil painter", she says, "I have maintained a feeling for the monumentality of the human form. I aim to reflect attitude, indifference and sometimes despair, through the recreation of the figure and abstraction as a collaborative expression."
