There is a phenomenon that mysteriously regenerates and fuels itself in a fashion, that from time to time, emerges as the creative endeavor of a visual artist. Such is the case with Dina Herrmann.

Dina's creativity was fostered while growing up in New York City. Encouraged by her parents, acclaimed fashion illustrators, she developed her unwavering drive, fascination and lifelong relationship with artistic expression. She was inspired and stimulated by the works of Kandinsky, Pollock, Miro, O'Keefe and Picasso. At age 15, she began studying at Cornell University and continued her formal training at Bennington College and Alfred University. She earned her BFA from the State University of New York at Purchase.

In 1985, Dina had her first solo exhibit at the Vorpal Gallery in Soho, NY. The show's success opened the door to additional solo and group exhibits which earned her international recognition.

Throughout the 90's, her work was exhibited at the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington DC. Dina's vivid works of art flow in the traditional media of oil on canvas.

She undertakes the difficult task of rendering dimensions greater than three, allowing an opportunity for the viewer to experience the macro and micro cosmic universe. It is this intuitive quiet genius, the mastery of shadow and form, and the eloquent control of technique, that sets the tone and purpose of her art.

Her interest and study of various modalities of spiritual systems, philosophies and therapeutic bodywork have greatly influenced her paintings.

She has produced a series of the chemical elements, the chakras and the human qualities of the heart and soul. Geometry, harmony, astronomy and mysticism all find their way into her art, giving birth to magic . Her paintings echo the subtle vibrations of the universe and speak in a natural language understood by all.
