Born in London, Dawn has worked as a sculptor in San Francisco, London and Manchester. She now lives and works in London.

Her sculptures are primarily carved in stone, but they are also made in bronze, wood, terracotta, plaster and silver Dawn’s drawings are also part of her artistic language.

She has been interviewed twice on BBC’s “Women’s Hour”. Once regarding her poignant and monumental sculpture commissioned by Nicola Horlick and also as a result of having three carvings exhibited together at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

She was presented to the Queen in 1993 at the opening of the international sculpture exhibition at Chelsea Harbour.

Elected a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 1991, Dawn was made a Fellow of the Society in 1994. She has served on the Council of the Society many times and is also a member of the Manchester Academy of Art.

She has had exhibitions in the UK and Japan and her sculptures and drawings are in private collections in the UK, Europe, Japan, the United States, Australia and Canada.

As a sculptor, she explore the interdependency and fragility of human relationships and how these fit into the world around us.

As a woman, she expresses  her own experiences –her personal and emotional CV –  but she says the underlying feelings are universal.

As a stone sculptor she carves directly into the stone enjoying the physicality, freshness, fluidity and sensuality that comes from working this most wonderful of material. Although working mainly in stone she also enjoys the differences that come from making a sculpture in bronze.  The way the light bounces off the finished bronze creates a very different mood to stone.
