Hatha I Print

Dina’s artwork reflects directly upon the inner world of her personal experiences; travels in Europe and Latin America, music, dance and her love of texture, graffiti and the influence of time, the patinas of surfaces worn by time. Working in several mediums: photography, printmaking, mixed media and encaustic paint, her studio work has taken on a more formalistic approach, including suggestions of people, figures dancing, playing instruments or embracing. The ambiguity of shapes reflecting the body in motion, ghosts of impressions, layers that suggest centuries of impressions on city walls. The recent totem series is the latest in an exploration of shapes, textures and lines that were originally inspired by graffiti and urban wall photographs. Dina has exhibited work at The Muroff-Kotler Visual Arts Gallery, The ARTBAR Gallery, Cornell Street Galley, Arts Society of Kingston, Woodstock Artists’ Association, The Living Room Gallery, 721 Media Center, and was a member of the Inquiring Minds gallery collective. Outside of the Hudson Valley, Dina has had exhibits at CHARAS/El Bohio, Frameworks and First Street Cafe in Manhattan and various locations in Brooklyn, Albany and Germany.
