Item description
An acrylic and oil painting on canvas. The painting depicts a home-like setting. A person with tan skin, long brown hair, a red shirt, white shorts, and white bunny-shaped slippers sits to the right on a wooden stool. They are posed with a green bottle of wine, and a pink striped party hat sits on their head. They are taking a selfie with a blue phone in their left hand. On the pale yellow wall behind them is a black and white banner that reads “happy birthday” in capital letters. Next to them is another stool and a small countertop, where a half-eaten cake with chocolate frosting rests on a blue plate. To the left side of the piece is a kitchen space in disarray, white cabinets are open, pots rest on a green stove, and dishes overflow in the sink.

Dana Ellyn
I am a full time painter living and working in downtown Washington DC. I have always painted current events and reacted to the world around me. As soon as the COVID-19 pandemic became front page news in 2020, I began creating virus-themed work from my downtown studio. I created close to 100 unique paintings that documented the constantly mutating “facts" surrounding this once in a lifetime global phenomenon.
