Welcome to my sacred space — my living online studio, where art is becoming.
Original artwork from Dawn Dickson Van Ness
Where the wild outside meets the wild within. Art as sanctuary, reflection, reconnection & reclamation.
Where the wild outside meets the wild within. Art as sanctuary, reflection, reconnection & reclamation.
I create visual works inspired by my life anchored to our eastern coastal ecosystems and emotional resilience. Through color, texture, and symbolic interruptions, I explore the connection between the wild outside and the wild within — because art can help us reclaim both.
As above, so below.
All without is within.

It was and wasn’t an art show :) and it was always fun.
Warning: This body of work refuses to sit quietly in a frame and behave like “proper” art. It pokes fun at the expectations that tame artists into products of society rather than true creators and reclaimers of voice. It invites you to laugh, question, and break some rules along the way.
Step in — the conversation is alive and in living color.
