Born and raised in Charleston, SC, Dana's artwork has reached international status. With his tribute to the "Priscilla Project" his work will be featured in documentaries and history books throughout the world.

A graduate of Trident Technical College in Charleston and the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Dana is pursuing his dream as a professional artist. "I love the deep rich colors of the Charleston area and the way the light and shadow play on the beautiful sunsets, marshes and buildings. These are the things I enjoy painting," says Dana. "I am fascinated with the rich architecture in this beautiful, historic city."

Dana is married to Hope Coleman and has three wonderful children; Dana Jr, Raheen and Iree. Says Coleman, "Raising children teaches you patience. God and my family are my first priority, and my inspiration. I would also like to thank my loyal collectors and enthusiasts for making me one of the hottest artist in Charleston and beyond."
