Dawn Reader

A PASSION FOR LIGHT

Oil painter of land and sea, inspired by the early morning light, whether it dances on water, reflects off a silent snow scene, or shines through trees. Dawn unashamedly paints beauty and tries to capture a sense of majestic freedom, together with stillness and tranquillity. She concentrates on a time, once gone, can never be repeated, rather than a particular place. 

By simplifying and softening the forms in the landscapes Dawn paints, through the use of a limited and somewhat muted palette, her aim is to extract and focus more on a spiritual serenity. The application of light and dark in her work serves not only to bring depth and perspective but also to emphasise the force and power in creation. Each painting is unique and commits to canvas a fleeting moment which will never surface again.
