Dawn's professional education includes Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees in Education, 15 years of teaching and administration in public and private schools where she was an early advocate for students with disabilities, and private tutoring for 2 decades.

With regard to personal artistic endeavors, Dawn has studied diamond point hand-engraving, watercolor, primitive rug hooking, basketry and loom weaving over the years.  Travel to Western and Northern Europe, Latin America, Japan, Australia, Tasmania, and throughout the US has allowed for learning opportunities and exploration of early industrial textile manufacturing. 

She has taught artistic creativity across mediums to students, groups, and individuals with varying degrees of ability.  A transplant to Chapel Hill, NC from Austin, TX, Dawn balances personal artistic exploration while continuing to carry forward a passion for facilitating creative expression and joy within the larger community through artful weaving.
