Dawn Hawkins

My passion from childhood has always been drawing and painting. Growing up I traveled the world due to my father being in the military. This intensified my passion for painting by the intriguing amount of different landscapes that I encountered. The awe inspiring trees, coastal, and sunsets were a constant inspiration.
At the age of 15, my family settled in Knoxville, TN. My desire for art continued all during high school. Although I have not had any formal training since, I have a natural gift and love for painting.
I have worked with numerous mediums, but find myself most comfortable and passionate about acrylics and watercolors. My most recent endeavors include canvas painting and large scale murals in private homes and businesses.
I have numerous canvas paintings that have shown in many different venues around Knoxville. I have 38 of my originals hanging at Gallery 133 in Knoxville, Tn. The most recent venue for many of my pieces can be viewed/purchased at Stillhouse Tavern, Mulligan’s at Gettysvue and starting December 24th 2011 I will be permanently showing and selling in Gallery 133 on Gay St. in Knoxville, And now the Plaid collection is being displayed at Hibachi Gallery in Oak Ridge Tennessee. I also have many greeting cards and my 6×8 canvas paintings at Good Scents off of carr rd. and I have many originals that can be purchased by contacting me personally, I can be reached at hawki41@hotmail.com
