She holds a Bachelor of Science in Art Education and has been teaching in the public schools for 10 years. Dawn has hopes and dreams for her students, that they develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts and that they will seek higher education that involves a journey connected to the arts. She is a member of the National Art Education Association, the Portsmouth Arts Guild, Daily Painters of RI and Contemporary Fine Arts International.com. Inspirational artists that stay etched in Dawn’s mind are American born Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
