Art Show!

This is my "press release" for my first ever solo art show, to be on display in the city of Sandy's chamber of commerce. My family and my friends from the Wy'east Artisans Guild have been giving me a lot of help in getting this thing put together.

Dawnna Jean Pearson, a member of the Wy’east Artisans Guild, will be the featured "Artist of the Month" at the Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center during June. Dawnna grew up on a farm, homeschooled in a house full of books. Outside were forests, creeks, and a view of Mount Hood. These surroundings fed her creativity and love of beauty. She began drawing at an early age, and took oil painting classes as a teen. She now works with a variety of mediums and styles, from whimsical pen and ink characters, to realistic landscapes. She has tried some unusual projects, such as a version of The Mona Lisa made out of forest debris (a photo of it will be in the show). Dawnna is also a writer, and has a YA fantasy novel available as an e-book on Amazon.com, along with books she has illustrated for other authors.

Dawnna’s show will be at the Chamber’s new building at 38979 Pioneer Blvd in Sandy, June 4-27. The Chamber is open Monday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Some of the art is for sale. As part of the Chamber’s First Friday event on June 6 from 5 pm-8 pm, the artist will be there to meet people and talk about her work. Refreshments will be provided.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving me these talents and the chance to share them.
