Radical Canvas

Dawn ("Radical Canvas”) creates canvasses using mostly aerosol, acrylic, newspaper, printed elements, and found objects, to create pieces that reflect the cacophony of internal and external emotional interludes and chaos . While pieces vary in their inspiration, many focus on themes of mental health, neurodivergence, the longing to be seen, light emerging from darkness, and underlying them all, a reflection on where we find ourselves pulled to rest our focus and attention.

Commissions also available to honor any major life transition, including life purpose pivots, births, deaths, marriage, divorce, milestone birthdays, and more. Proud exhibitor at Raven’s Gallery, the Chocolate & Art show , DTLA ArtNight, Pancakes & Booze, and Le Petit Paris.
