About Dana E. Myers
I’m an artist. People, animals, and life in general are my teachers.
Art was quite a love of mine as a child. Many times it served as an escape from my unhappiness during those years. When I graduated from high school, I was eager to put school behind me. It served as the source of my grief because I was constantly bullied there. I suppose at the time art pretty much went right out the window with the rest of it. So a couple decades passed and I was much happier just working and enjoying life. I have been a frontline healthcare worker for twenty years but something was missing.
One day I came across a picture in which the artist had made a drawing where each image was a reference to a particular song by the Beatles. Now let me just say, I am a biiiig U2 fan and right away I thought, What a cool idea! Someone needs to make one of these for U2! I thought, Well wait a second, I can draw. I was in advanced art back in school. I will do it, it will be so fun!... So i did! It was then that I realized how much I had been missing art from my adult life. At the risk of sounding a bit cliche.... the rest is history!

I am having the time of my life creating again now, and have been a bit floored by the positive feedback I have received. How funny it is that my favorite band in the universe, in a roundabout way, reunited me with an old love that is art.

Toxicity. This surrealistic, feminist, totally unique piece speaks for itself. Like a punch to the gut, it addresses the negative societal expectations and stereotypes women so often experience. The tone is one of “getting rid of it”, being “fed up” with it, and being literally sick from it, symbolically putting it all where it really belongs.
