Using environmentally friendly oils, Clair’s work challenges the eyes and minds of her viewers…..

LITTLE ITALY – San Diego artist Dani Dodge has been selected as the featured artist for this year’s Mission Federal ArtWalk in Little Italy.

ArtWalk, the city’s largest art festival, is celebrating its 25th anniversary on April 24 and 25.

Dodge, a former San Diego Union-Tribune editor who now works as a public relations representative at the San Diego Zoo, was recently invited to be part of the San Diego Fine Art Society’s mentorship program for midcareer artists.

“ArtWalk is an important event for the community and Dani being chosen as a featured artist speaks for the quality of this festival,” said April Game, the Fine Art Society’s founding executive director.
