Inspired by Nature: Lynda Dawson

As a child the outdoors was Dawson’s playground. She loved climbing trees, collecting sticks and stones, and using her imagination. She would draw almost everyday. She loved the beauty of nature and was in awe of its mystery. 

As she grew older and had a family, she had more pressing matters and creating art was put on the back burner. When she graduated with a teaching degree in 1993, she found herself learning about art, began experimenting and teaching art and drama to students of all ages. 

This whole experience brought her back to the art world. She began exploring with different mediums. In the last ten years she has dabbled in pastel, watercolor, and acrylic paint. 

Her message to anyone, no matter what age, is that it's never to late to learn something new and find your passion. Art helps her connect to her inner child and find joy.
