Dana Hooper, a fourth generation San Franciso Bay Area native, is a self-taught artist.  She paints on location in rural Marin and Sonoma counties in a style inspired by the Society of Six and Bay Area Figurative artists.  In her larger studio paintings, Hooper reinterprets the plein air images in an expanded and often simplified motif.

Employing brushes and palette knife, she paints the places, the animals and the light with which she is deeply familiar and closely connected (showing 500 of 2503 characters).
