New York City.- First Street Gallery is proud to show “Dana Saulnier: Night Paintings”, on view through October 29th.  Dana Saulnier was born in Boston and lives on a few acres of rural Ohio farmland where he tries to keep his eyes alert to the rhythms of time. An avid reader of history, philosophy, and the psychology of perception he tries to keep his mind open to thinking about our complex relation to passing time. He teaches art by seeking to introduce his students to their own creative relationship to life lived. Occasionally he writes about art making. Dana Saulnier received the BFA degree in Painting from the University of Cincinnati and the MFA degree in Painting from Cornell University. He has exhibited his work throughout the United States and in Europe. He has participated in over eighty-five exhibitions, including more than twenty-five solo exhibitions.
