Welcome

I’m glad you’re here. I’m Dawn…and I’m on an art odyssey. My artistic style has developed and changed a lot over the years through medium exploration, art lessons, and life experiences. A big part of my recent art journey has been a late-diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder with Anxiety and Depression. Creating helps me to process events and emotions, and has always been a big part of who I am. I am a creative adventurer!

Original Art

Though I have dabbled in many art forms, these days, my main focus is abstract art using acrylic paints. I also enjoy watercolors and inks for smaller works, and I’m always taking classes. Sometimes, drawing geometric shapes on paper and choosing a limited palette of colors creates order where my bouncing mind can rest, and other times, smearing paint across a large canvas soothes me. My art has become known for vibrant colors and bold illustrations which often feature whimsical creatures and pattern work with intricate designs. My art is both language and story. You can see new work on a fairly regular basis posted on Facebook and Instagram.

Books

My journey back to art began with my book passion. I’ve always been an avid reader and after writing my “Gnomeling” series, I decided I needed more art practice. Of course getting back into all the colors fired up that old teenage dream and passion inside me. Nowadays, I’m either drawing and painting, making book design decisions, or writing poems and stories. I find purpose in all these activities and every day I am able to do them I feel extremely blessed. I’m really proud of my most recent book series called “Incredible Critters.” I’ve also used my art to make five 200-page notebook-style journals, as well as a “Women of the Bible” Word Search, a coffee-themed coloring book, and a hardback photographic poem coffee table book called, “Peace at the Beach.” You can learn more about my books from the drop down menu above, or go directly to my Amazon author page and click on them directly from here: https://tinyurl.com/3wkabyss

YouTube Process Videos

I’m a follower of Jesus and make a lot of art with God, and so I’ve also produced several videos about some of these prophetic works, as well a series of doodling videos based on Bible verses and prayers. I have provided free coloring/doodling pages here on the website (see above menu) that you can print to doodle along with me or on your own. Here’s the link to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Xesg1gXTn_5sGzPj9gy6w

Get In Touch

I believe ART and STORY are important. They change atmosphere, elicit emotion, and help us not to feel so alone. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer, and if I can help you in any art, story, or Jesus way, get in touch. I’m always offering up prayers as well.
