Dana Brown is an artist from Austin, who has worked with Gamblin Artists Colors for the past twelve years educating artists about their various products and their uses. Dana works in a variety of media, ranging from oil painting to collage. In his capacity at Gamblin Artists Colors, and through his position at Ampersand Art Supply, he has worked with artists and conservators from all over the world, to help spread information about traditional and contemporary art materials, innovations, and archival concerns.
