Being an Atlanta native who turned west in 2013, I have effortlessly found my home here in Redding, California with my husband and our five children. I grew up knowing I was a creative, but did not fully immerse myself in the creative arts until 2009, when I began designing and curating jewelry as Yellow Reformation.

In the fall of 2015, during a three-month sabbatical, I fell headlong into painting and I have not stopped. identifying a familiar expression within the mediums of acrylic, pastel, ink, water and raw canvas, I feel equipped to submerge myself in the surrender of each piece.

I have come home to a part of myself inside the abstractive process. I get lost in the theory of color, and moving along with it to capture composition. Painting has unfastened fresh mediums for me to encounter my Creator. You can find my work at theartofdawn.com, and you are invited to come share in my artistic process on Instagram as @theartofdawn.
