Dana Hamm

One of the first ones. There was no idea behind this canvas, and I am not going to pretend there was.

Who is Dana Hamm?

Dana Hamm is an American model and fitness competitor. She won the NPC National Bikini Championship in 2009 and competed as an IFBB professional before stepping back from competition in 2010 to build her own fitness brand.

She returned to modelling in 2016 and has appeared in Playboy, FHM and Maxim, in campaigns for brands including Guess Jeans, Bebe and Lucky Brand Jeans, and runs her own training programme and fitness label.

This summary is put together from publicly available sources and has not been checked with her. If something here is wrong or she would rather it were not here, write to the studio and it is corrected or removed.

Painting Dana Hamm in the studio

At that point I was still working out what I actually wanted to look at for weeks on end. Not what would sell, not what it meant. Just which images kept me at an easel and which ones let go after two days. This one held, and everything since has come out of that question. So this is where Painted Idols begins, even though it looks like it belongs somewhere in the middle of the series.

Days at a time over several weeks. It stopped when I was finished with it.

Dana Hamm paintings: what exists

Oil on stretched canvas, 120 x 80 cm, signed, one of one. Painted from a photograph she published herself, and the painting credits it. There is no print of it.

What is still available, and at what price, is on the cards below.
