About the instructor:
Always searching to learn new skills, Dana Falsetta has been making eclectic art for over 20 years, starting with a B.F.A. from the College of New Jersey with a focus on installation art and photography. Dana continues to add new techniques, with a goal of creating from any vision that comes to mind. She concentrates on the importance of learning from any medium to bring those concepts into a current project.
While making things remains a passion, Dana's daily work is focused on animal welfare and animal behavior. Dana's professional background has been in training humans to connect and work with their dogs (and other animals) through behavioral challenges.
