“My work in printmaking helps me connect real to imagined memories, and my life experiences to my heritage” says Dana Harris Seeger, a printmaker and educator based in San Jose, California. Growing up as a second generation Baltic American, Dana has always tried to connect the artefacts she has acquired from Estonia and Latvia into her own story. Feeling drawn to a world that is in her blood but not in her memory is what motivates Dana to create layered works in lithography, screen printing, collage, and monotype. “I am constantly trying to lift the veil between 2 worlds- however that manifests for me- as an identical twin, as the mother of twins, and as the granddaughter of displaced people.”
