Fiber Artist Dana Zeck lives with her husband Steve and feline companion Garcia in the Southern New Jersey Pine Barrens, in Warren Grove, a small town she calls "The Center of the Universe". As it is with most artists, her work is influenced by her surroundings, and in the Pine Barrens she is surrounded by cranberry bogs, pygmy pines, and cedar swamps. Inspiration often arrives during her walks in the woods, along paths comprised of bleach white sugar sand, enveloped by the Pine Barrens' natural beauty. The colors of the bark of a tree, or the texture of a freshly plowed field may soon be seen in a ruana, scarf or blanket. Her connection with nature extends into the weave of her work as well, it is not unusual to find shells, plants or feathers woven into a shawl, scarf, or window curtain.

Dana started weaving about eighteen years ago under the tutelage of Batsto Village's resident weaver, Lorraine Gough. Since then she has also studied under Kumiko Murashima, Fiber Arts Professor at Rowan College and attended numerous fiber related workshops and seminars. Dana weaves on a four harness floor loom and uses many different types of fiber; including wool, chenille, cotton, silk and alpaca, some of it she has spun herself. Her portfolio includes scarves, shawls, ruanas, and other simple clothing items; recently Dana has branched out to include curtains, small rugs, blankets and other home decor items.
