Dana Telsrow
Artist Dana Telsrow has lived in Iowa City since 2009, when he enrolled in the University of Iowa as a tuba performance major. At the university, he became interested in other artistic genres such as painting and poetry. After graduating, he toured and recorded as a solo musician, performed in a variety of bands and worked as a part-time audio engineer at Flat Black Studios in Iowa City. He has worked at the University of Iowa since his undergraduate days making marketing videos. During the pandemic, drawing became his primary creative outlet. Dana considers himself “a student of art in a very broad sense of the word. My drawing and painting is typically figurative and often in the realm of portraiture.” In addition to attending most Arts Iowa City’s ArtiFactory figure drawing sessions, Dana studies drawing with UI Art Professor Jimmy Miracle. Dana’s work has been exhibited in galleries around the country, most recently at the Edgewater Gallery in Fort Bragg, California, the Tieton Arts and Humanities Center in Tieton, Washington and the Corgi Clay Art Center in Stafford, Virginia.
