Dina discovered art at a young age. What started as drawings, paintings, and birthday cards for family and friends grew into a passion in high school and college. She received her Bachelor of Arts with a major in fine art from Scripps College and went on to work in graphic design and consulting roles for almost three decades. Since retiring from the corporate world in recent years, she’s renewed her focus on her own art.

Dina is drawn to exploring the relationship between opposites—expressive brush stroke and hard edge, atmospheric background and shape, opacity and transparency, and the interplay of complementary colors in layering and mixing.

Dina lives in Chicago with her husband, where she also teaches Pilates as a certified instructor.
