Dawn Emerson is an award winning pastelist /mixed media artist and international instructor. She’s the author of Pastel Innovations, and producer of seven instructional videos. She brings an attitude of playfulness and experimentation to the stage as she merges drawing, painting and printmaking processes to inspire storytelling, freedom, and creativity. In her own work, she strives for the “Haiku” version of image making — where less is more, and the individual’s marks and empty spaces tell the story.
