About Dawn
Growing up in the vibrant city of Chicago, my journey into the world of art was anything but a sure and simple feat. Surrounded by the hustle and bustle of urban life, I found solace in the quiet corners of my imagination, where creativity flourished and dreams took flight.
Opportunity Through Creativity
Attending an urban school immersed me in a diverse range of cultures and perspectives, shaping my understanding of the world and fueling my desire to make a difference through art.
For me, art was more than just a pastime; it was a lifeline, a means of personal expression, and a vehicle for social change. With every brushstroke and every splash of color, I sought to capture the beauty of the world around me and shed light on issues of equity and justice. My values of creativity, equity, and joy guided my artistic journey, infusing my work with a sense of purpose and meaning.
Art Is Empowering
Teaching others to draw was a natural extension of my passion for art and my commitment to uplifting others. Through workshops and classes, I sought to inspire and empower budding artists to embrace their creativity, celebrate their unique perspectives, and find joy in the act of creation. Whether teaching children in underserved communities or adults looking to reconnect with their creative spirit, I reveled in the opportunity to nurture talent, cultivate curiosity, and foster a sense of belonging. For me, there is no greater joy than witnessing the transformative power of art unfold in the lives of my students, as they discover their own voices and find the courage to make their mark on the world.
With gratitude... Dawn
