Dana Winistok is an artist in Calgary, Alberta. Currently teaching at Swinton's Art Supplies and working at the Bow Valley Ranch. Some of her biggest influences include Gustav Klimt, Bouguereau, Utagawa Hiroshige, John Singer Sargent, and John William Waterhouse, as well as many contemporary artists. Dana believes making art is not for the “gifted” but for anyone who has the desire and motivation to learn. Each individual has their own voice, and that’s what makes art so interesting and personal.
