Ashley Sesco, KY

I gave Dana Young Davis a photo of Randall and his momma on Newport Beach in California. The photo was taken during our last trip with her during Christmas 2023. It had less than stellar lighting and was a bit blurry, and she created this breathtaking work of art! This photo doesn’t do the actual piece justice! Thank you, Dana for sharing your God given talents with others. We will cherish this piece for our lifetimes.

Hello!

I'm Dana Davis, a Kentucky artist who specializes in creating custom portrait paintings. I also teach 9-12 grade Drawing, Painting and Studio Art at Union County High School full time for the past 18 years.  My history teaching hubby has also been teaching with me at the same school.    Which means I get to live and breath art every day!  I paint, draw or teach someone or something different each and every week. When I'm not painting on-site at weddings on the weekends, I can be found in my home studio, producing beautiful custom paintings. In my opinion, I have the coolest jobs in the world.   The greatest loves of my life, aside from Jesus Christ without whom I would do nothing, include my sweet husband, Ryan, our handsome boys, Boston, Isaac and Miles, and our three extra small dachshunds - Moxie, Rolo and Tilly.  I'd also like to mention another very important part of my life - you! Whether you've been with me since the beginning, or you just recently joined in on my journey, thank you for being my friend! From the bottom of my heart, know that I cherish your encouragement, feedback, support and friendship. ​
