Dana Church

30 years working in creative technologies industries, as a Sailmaker, Boatbuilder, Commercial Sculptor, CGI Artist & Producer, Film maker, Product Designer and Researcher.

It was in these production environments that I learned to use tools, understand materials, and basic engineering principals applied to making objects.

Spanning 3 decades I’ve considered myself an artist/sculptor, comfortably working in the realms of fine art & design, spanning physical and digital domains. During this period I have always had a fine art or design project alongside the day job.

Following Covid I began a full-time fine art studio practice based in Nottingham, England. I have sought to revise with a fresh approach the “shaped canvas” and reinterpret the Minimalist, post-Painterly approach to flat, solid areas of colour. My approach to painting is predominantly rationalist and conceptual.

Seeking critics, curators, collectors, and influencers to champion my fine art production.
