Hi there, I’m Dawn. I am a photographic artist with a longing to bring an inspiring perspective to the living and dying process, and the need to acknowledge both.

I’ve always loved art and the endeavor of creating art. I bought my first camera with green stamps and taught myself through trial and error, mostly error. It has always been my desire to capture the essence of the moment and to encourage viewers to see beyond the visual and experience the moment. To enhance the visual experience, I began experimenting adding texture to my photographic art. I have found that embellishing photographs elevates the viewer’s experience.

In 2022, I gained a new perspective of living, dying and the grieving process when I assisted my brother to move forward from this life. It was through this experience that I realized the dire importance of capturing those moments through photography. There would be no more than NOW. Those photos helped me remember specific moments and helped me accept dying, death and beyond.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. Capturing the raw emotions, the genuine essence of time was frozen in those photographs. I created my masterpiece for my eyes. Something I’ve been longing to do for a very long time. Those photos give dignity and honor to my brother’s life and death and, in turn, helped me accept and heal. I want to bring a masterpiece to your eyes and help you in your healing process.
