About A Dawning Art
In my childhood, I initiated my artistic journey by
experimenting with a paint-by-number set. As I progressed, my artistic
pursuits expanded to encompass a diverse range of mediums, including
graphite, watercolor, oil pastels, color pencils, acrylics, and inks,
with a particular emphasis on oils. The majority of my formal art
education was acquired during my residence in California. Before formal
training, I was primarily self-taught through books, extensive study of
artists and museums, and a process of trial and error. The initial
stages of my artistic exploration were marked by numerous setbacks and
failures, eventually leading me to discern and appreciate what I truly
love about working with oil paints.

Artist Statement
My art is classical, perceptible, and soothing. My goal is to capture light and dark, which gives dimension, visual order, depth, and beauty with deep and vibrant color. My art focuses on refined and precise details. I see my subjects as clear and clean forms, striking color, and a collection of many parts. I am absorbed into the painting as it grows and develops, and my skill is in deliberate and exacting brush strokes capturing the essence of subjects. It is this visual order which pleases and invites. I want my viewers to see beauty refined to a single pedal. My art is unique because it is the beginning of art’s return to a natural realistic style.
