Dawn is a speaking coach, professional speaker, mentor, and writer. Dawn’s studio, Heights Creative, where she works as an abstract artist in acrylics, inks, and collage on canvas, paper, and other substrates, is in Bonniebrook Heights with an inspiring view of Vancouver Island. Dawn is transfixed by the vivid colours of sunset, the vibrant shades of the spring rhododendrons, and abundant summer flowers nestled against the calm greens of the majestic cedars and oranges of the arbutus on the Sunshine Coast. All of these are captured by the texture and flexibility that acrylic paint allows. Dawn values the opportunity to meet regularly with local artists in small groups to share fresh ideas and from other artists around the world who share their knowledge and expertise virtually.
