Dawn creates art as a way to interconnect with nature & humanity, and to further collective liberation through BIPOC joy, resilience & resistance.

Her interest includes: comics, book/paper arts, painting, photography, printmaking and collage. She enjoys experimenting with mixed media to create graphic poetry and visual narratives through interactive, accessible artist book formats.
