Dana Harel: Kin




I accidentally stumbled upon this artist, Dana Harel, the other day while walking past Frey Norris Gallery in downtown San Francisco. I was instantly drawn in by the large scale, very intricate, and extremely scientific nature of these drawings. Upon going inside, I learned that this artist was actually trained in Architecture originally, and her precise draftsmanship eventually evolved into this. She seamlessly combines human hands with various animals, and the barriers between human and nature become quite blurred.
