Dana Cowie

Dana Cowie

Using an impasto, painterly technique Dana Cowie creates cubist-inspired farm and rural landscapes. Working within controlled color schemes, her artworks appear abstract up close and become more representational as the viewer takes in the larger image. Each stylized color represents shadows and grander forms of perspective that capture a more vibrant experience beyond the minute details of the subjects she paints.

Born in 1975, Cowie grew up in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada before enrolling in the visual art program at Central Technical School in Toronto in the 90s. She has also lived in Japan and Victoria, British Columbia.

Cowie's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows across Canada, the U.S., and England. She is represented by art galleries in Canada, U.S., and England and is collected worldwide. Cowie's paintings have been featured in magazines as well, including Style at Home Magazine, House & Garden magazine (UK), and Escarpment Magazine. She lives in Owen Sound, Canada with her family.

Each meticulously stylized color in Dana Cowie's work encapsulates the interplay of shadows and the broader dimensions of perspective, offering viewers a vibrant experience that transcends the minutiae of her subjects. Employing controlled color schemes, her artworks exhibit abstract qualities at close inspection, gradually transforming into more representational forms as the viewer absorbs the complete image. Through her use of impasto and painterly techniques, Dana Cowie masterfully crafts cubist-inspired depictions of farm and rural landscapes.

“I live in a small town and am surrounded by beautiful barns and rolling hills. My work is a culmination of years of painting in search of a patchwork quilt effect using thick, expressionist marks. Barns and farmland speak to me as I live in a rural setting and have good friendships with local farmers. Using classical oils and acrylics and painting on my grandmothers 1940’s easel, I work instantaneously across my canvas, creating layers of color that overlap as the image emerges.”
