Dana Jester: Artist, Teacher, and a Living Link to Bob Ross
Dana Jester is more than an artist—he’s a living link to Bob Ross and a master of landscapes, portraits, and wildlife. From his Old Town Arvada gallery to his decades of teaching, Dana’s work carries both skill and soul. My own piece, Yellow Mountain, is a treasured reminder of the friendships and workshops that grew from knowing him. Collectors will find in his art not just beauty, but history and heart.
