Huntsville, Alabama dana anderson Untitled s Acrylic on Canvas s 20 " x 30 " Still s Acrylic on Canvas s 36 " x 24 " s $3,200.00 s Dana Anderson $1,600.00 s Dana Anderson Dana Anderson, a 28-year-old Huntsville native and resident, is the South’s first artist with special needs to be given her own solo gallery exhibit. She made history as the first such artist in several states including an upcom - ing exhibit September through December 2021 on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. Anderson, who has Down syn - drome and autism, is low-functioning and does not care for herself, read, write or speak. Painting has become her voice and she has been featured on local, regional and national media outlets, which has resulted in a large following with sales of more than 100 paintings in 35 states. Unlike neurotypical professional artists, Anderson’s work is her only voice, and she is prolific with more than 300 pieces in less than three years. She paints weekly at the Inside Out Studio, a local studio for adults with disabilities, where she creates museum-worthy art. She works with canvas or board to create landscape and abstract art. She often paints over her work several times before she is finished, and uses a broadly generalized brushstroke, roller or sponge, with smaller, articulate, accentuating strokes. An emerging career artist, Anderson is breaking down barriers. Her exhibit, “Beyond Barriers,” is educating the public that persons with disabilities can do amazing things if given the opportunity. www.danaandersonart.com, facebook.com/danaandersonart.huntsville 50 Nashville, Tennessee kim barrick Chickadees s Oil s 14 " x 11 " s $850.00 s Kim Barrick Nap s Oil s 8" x 10 " s $550.00 s Kim Barrick Kim Barrick is as diverse and complex as the work she creates.
