Dawn has a passion for nature and wildlife, drawing inspiration for her paintings from the stunning countryside of Britain, especially her local surroundings of Wales with its rugged coastline. Dawn works in a variety of media including oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolour and ink, and her painting style is usually impressionistic but with a strong representational bias. She undertakes plein air painting whenever possible and feels that this practice hones her observational skills, which in turn helps her capture the sense of place in her finished pieces. Dawn previously reached the final shortlist for Artists and Illustrators ‘Artist of the Year’ award and her artwork has sold to collectors in the UK and overseas.
