It is with great pleasure that I introduce via today's Artist Watch column in the international online arts magazine Escape Into Life the paintings of Washington, D.C., artist Dana Ellyn.

Dana is a painter of stories. She has a uniquely personal style that verges between social realism and expressionism and always depicts her own point of view, whether it be about animal rights and food choices, politics, Covid-19, or some other subject that has captured her imagination. She paints only what she knows, and only after doing considerable research and planning.

For February's Artist Watch, Dana has provided a generous number of images of recent paintings (both  2022 and 2021), as well as an Artist Statement and a brief biography.
