BIO & CV
Dana Burns is a Franco-American painter based in Paris, France. She grew up in New York and has split most of her adult years between the French Alps and Paris. She earned her BFA in Fine Art and Minor in History of Art from the Fashion Institute of Technology (NYC) in 2010. In the summer of 2024, Burns returned from an over two-year stay in Berlin, Germany where she had a handful of exhibitions and had also created her first artist zine (April ’24) Epic Pause — currently available within the EU.
