Chroma2019 PSC ONLINE SHOW

Juror and Awards Judge: Dawn Emerson

Dawn grew up in Marblehead, Massachusetts. After graduating from Brown University

with a BA in English/Minor in Art in 1977, she began a career in graphic design and

illustration. She became a bookdesigner and art director for an educational publisher in

the Boston area, until leaving to head west with her young family and husband in 1985.

It was in Salt Lake City she discovered a passion for teaching art to children, and she

continued teaching in the public schools after moving to Central Oregon in 1991. In 1992

she discovered the medium of pastel, and began taking workshops with well known

pastel artists Sheila Reiman, Harley Brown, Albert Handell, Sally Strand, and others. By

1997 she was winning major awards for her pastel work, writing articles for various art publications, and teaching

her own workshops. Dawn has spent the past 26 years creating art, teaching, and experimenting in her Central

Oregon studio to push the boundaries of the pastel medium. In 2008 Dawn was introduced to printmaking by mentor

Pat Clark. Printmaking led to new and exciting directions for Dawn’s art expression and inspired the writing of a book

titled “Pastel Innovations” in 2017 by NorthLight Publishers. Three new dvds were also produced by NorthLight, making

a total of 6 instructional dvds now available. Dawn’s work has been exhibited in many national exhibits, and is available

through the Mockingbird Gallery in Bend, OR. Dawn is sought after as an art judge, workshop instructor, and inspiring

demonstrator. Her passion is to help people find their own voice with art and to continue to grow as an artist. Visit her
