Dana Baldwin Naumann had a successful career in corporate sales and marketing. Naumann started in sales and marketing with IBM. After leaving IBM, he joined Wang as Director of the Northeast Region Sales and Marketing. Naumann also worked with Mitsubushi International in NYC. His last position was Vice-President of Sales and Marketing with the Westinghouse Corporation in Pittsburgh. When Naumann left the corporate world, he was determined to devote his life to his art. It was a decision Naumann says he has never regretted.

He designed and contributed sculptures to the permanent collection of United States Special Olympics, and a piece created with the theme of the Holocaust was given to the Thomas Dodd Center, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. Other pieces of Naumann’s works were gifted to the East Shore Adult Day Care Center in Branford, CT, and to the Aids Project in New Haven, CT.

Dana Naumann's artworks have been shown at Artworks Gallery in Hartford, Art Expo in NYC, Gallerie Michele in Washington DC, Villanova University in Villanova, PA. Mystic Art Guild in Mystic, CT, Vital Gallery in Hawaii, The York Square Gallery in New Haven, Frewil in Los Angeles, CA, Jewish Community Center in Amity, CT, Six Summit Gallery, Westbrook CT and Hygienic Art Gallery, New London CT.

Art critic Steve Starger wrote about his work: "Naumann's finely wrought sculptures aren't depressing or oppressive. He draws on African and mythological references to create monolithic faces that are inspired by ritual masks and statuary, like monuments or totems left by a long-vanished civilization. These elongated faces appear aloof and ascetic, but are also strangely poignant, and each emanates a sense of mystery and longing."
