Artist Highlight

Dawn Normali expresses what she sees through her heart onto canvas yielding oil paintings from creativity that flows through her. Tapped into the ancient rhythms, she exercises pallet knife, and brush to dance fluid positivity across the board sharing reflections of life experience. Dawn works publicly and privately teaching art with fun and discipline emphasizing interpretation of an essence or spirit of the subject. Dawn’s style has 
been described as expressionist, contemporary, impressionistic with a touch of Russian influence.
