Artist
Statement
Generally
my work is nature based, I am driven to express my view
as a suburban householder concerned about our natural
environment. Reality is in-fact, that we like our consumer
products and as home-owners we selectively forget about
our collective impact. Sadly this is not going to change.
In my work I ask myself, how can we embrace a unison between
our consumer desires and maintain our values in the protection
of our native environment?
Dina
first started exhibiting her paintings while
in high school and gradually moved to home furnishings
and sculptural forms after her children were born. In
1997 along with her partner Clint, Dina established a
functional art business in the Redlands where they created
their unusual Fantasy
Dreams furnishing. Their stunning bedhead designs
have been exported around the world and are custom designed
for clients from all backgrounds.
In
2002, after
corporate life, Dina established the ArTTable
which offers the tuition and supply of art & craft
materials throughout Australia through a direct selling
system. Passionate about art and craft, Dina dreamed of
giving other women an opportunity to do what they love
by taking creativity to the people.
Today
Dina continues to develop her sculptural murals throughout
Australia and most of Dina’s artwork has been private
commissions from individuals
seeking a unique and decorative approach for their homes.
