Dawna chooses to paint in a variety of styles: Impressionist, Abstract, & Expressionist.  She paints from real life, photos, or her imagination, and will entertain most any concept.  An eclectic mix of images lives on her canvases; figures, still lifes, landscapes, and cityscapes provide her with unending inspiration.
 

While living in Tucson, Dawna was active in local art and writing jurying/competitions, workshops, and galleries.  With fiction writing partner, Larry Naessens, suspense enovel, Laura's Legacy, was published and is available for purchase on the Internet at Amazon.com.
 

Dawna's article/review: Monet at Giverny ~ Masterpieces from the Musee Marmottan, along with a short story, was published in ezine, Eclecticity.   They also presented her article about Ilir Zefi.
 

She recently moved to NYC and is settling in and getting her feet wet in the art scene.   
 

"I need to paint, to express and touch my inner voice.  When people view my work, I definitely wish for them to see my voice, but I also wish for them to hear their own."  --Dawna
