About
One-of-a-Kind And Bespoke Lumières
Through handcrafted, one-of-a-kind lighting, Dana explores how perception shapes reality—using light as a medium for mood, awareness, and emotional resonance.
Artist Dana Major handcrafts lighting that transforms your interior spaces into immersive, sensory experiences.
Working at the intersection of the tangible and the esoteric, Dana’s light fixtures activate your space, inviting you to inhabit your familiar rooms with new wonder by shifting the everyday to the sublime.
Dana’s work melds her decades of fine craftsmanship with a philosophy of mindfulness. Her creations transform light into a meaningful experience that fosters deeper connections between people, space, and time.
She has lectured in the Sculpture Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and provides accredited studio internships for students within AICAD schools. She received her MFA from SAIC in 2011, following a BA in Philosophy from DePaul University and an arts apprenticeship in St. Petersburg, Russia.
