DANA SWASKO
Artist Dana Swasko is a lifelong resident of the Chicago, Illinois suburb of Clarendon Hills. Creative from an early age, Dana’s creativity was expressed through dance until an injury during her freshman year of high school prevented that from being a possibility any longer. Needing an outlet for her creative energies, she picked up charcoals and began drawing. She was hooked!
While she started out in charcoal, Dana is up to experimenting with various media and subject matter. From commissioned charcoal drawings of people and pets to painted still life and landscapes, she is up to the task and continues to work diligently to hone her skill. Dana holds an Associate of Fine Arts degree from the college of Dupage, but knows her art education and training are far from over. In fact, her focus now lies in illustration and design.
Inspired by her own desire to creating new worlds and new characters, Dana’s illustrations of sci-fi and fantasy fill the pages of her sketch book. But she feels that book holds some of her best work to date because it is all her. Dana’s artistic goals include illustration and design for books, album covers, or any other need. She relishes the idea of taking someone’s dream and bringing it to life with her brushes and pencils.
