Dana Kahan is a Contemporary Artist and Graphic Designer living just outside Nashville, Tennessee.

Known for her striking technique with gloss black paint, she paints vibrant, abstract backgrounds and literally squirts black gloss acrylic paint (from a mustard bottle) in various interpretations of tangible objects and scenes. The black paint dries raised and cracked on top of the backgrounds adding texture and dimension to her pieces. Whether the subject is a flower, a chandelier or a carousel, Dana's work is expressive and colorful. Sometimes she works on a series but sometimes she just explores. She also loves doing commissions where her clients give her some of the best ideas. It makes them feel very connected to the finished piece. Her work is enjoyed and collected by people from coast to coast. Her paintings also hang in a number of Nashville area galleries and stores
