Dana Harel was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She holds a Bachelor in Architecture from the California College for the Arts in San Francisco and for the past 7 years has been working as a visual artist.
Harel’s drawings evolve organically, fusing themes of man and environment. Her understanding of form through architecture leads to transformative depictions of human and animal, offering us an idea and not solution to our own internal struggle.
Each drawing combines thousands of refined strokes of graphite on large scale paper.
She shows locally and nationally, and her work is in various private collections. Recent venues include The Napa Valley Museum of Art, CA; Frey Norris Gallery in San Francisco; Palo Alto Art Center, CA; Nebraska Wesleyan University, NE.
Her work is part of the Drawing Center Viewing Program in NY and was featured at the Gen Art SF Emerge exhibition in 2006.
Upcoming shows in 2010 include ‘Manimal’, at the Herzelia museum of Contemporary Art in Israel and ‘Secret Drawings’ at the Palo Art Center.
