If the brush of an artist has been dipped in their soul, imagine what they are creating
Dana Dzurko
Dana Dzurko is a Cleveland-based artist whose work explores themes of resilience, healing, and transformation. Working primarily in acrylics, her style merges abstract expressionism with realism, creating a powerful visual narrative.
Dana received her Bachelor of Arts from Ursuline College with a focus in painting and fine art photography, and also pursued studies at Bowling Green State University.
Her personal journey as a survivor of a ruptured brain aneurysm has become a profound influence on her creative practice, fueling her exploration of art as a vital tool for recovery.
Her work has gained significant recognition, with eight exhibitions in the past year alone. A highlight includes a dual exhibition with Lane Cooper at Pinwheel Gallery. Dana’s art will be featured in an extended exhibition at Wooster Community Hospital, which will also add one of her pieces to its permanent collection.
In a uniquely meaningful honor, Dana’s painting depicting her experience during the aneurysm rupture has been acquired for the permanent collection of the new Cleveland Clinic Neurology Building on its main campus.
