Life Illuminated, paintings by Dawn

Hello!
I am an artist who loves to paint the essence of what I see within each and every human, creature, moment, story.

One of my favorite quotes is by Antoine de Saint-Exupery :
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

If that isn't the truth, I don't know what is! :)
It is the light that shines within us all that I illuminate in my paintings. It is what I see in every unique subject I paint.

This is why I love a quick questionnaire consultation and photos of your loved one before my brush hits the canvas. I want to know what you find so alive and beautiful about your loved one or story so that I can do my best to illuminate that through my art.

Or, if you prefer, I can also take your favorite subject, painting, photograph, etc and paint it in my style-also with a quick consultation.
