Born in Tel Aviv, Dana Levy lives and works in New York and Tel Aviv. Levy received her post-graduate at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Scotland (1998) and her B.A. from Camberwell College of Art in London (1997).

Levy works with video and digital photography, and deals mostly with memory, identity, and home, often as a temporary place. Her latest works include mostly nature, still life and animals. Her photographic series “Habitat” and the video “Disengagement,” were produced during Israel’s disengagement from Gaza. In both, she explores the challenge of expressing emotion with the absence of people. In her recent work, “The Wake," Levy released 100 live butterflies in the Entomology department of a natural history museum. For her, "the work explores themes such as revolution, awakening from suppression, resurrection, transition, and most of all - freedom."
