Originally from Yorkshire, Dawn is a self taught artist who now lives and works in London, where she makes bold and expressive landscape and floral pastel paintings.

Working Plein Air and in her studio, Dawn records snippets of the green spaces and urban pathways that she discovers when exploring the suburbs of North London and visiting her brother in West Yorkshire.

Dawn’s paintings express the seasons, the weather and the mood of the day, using a rich, warm palette and strong contrasting tones that remind us of artists of the past such as Constable and Gainsborough, and contemporary painters such as George Shaw.

Dawn had her first solo exhibition in February 2020 at the Wellhouse Gallery, Horndon on the Hill, Essex.
