a patient and reflective practice
Dawn M Trimble is an artist, designer, and writer whose work initiates a dialogue that shifts subtly from the vulnerability of humanity to a critical reading and response to the world through architecture, design, and her faith.
Dawn’s earliest desire to express can be traced to drawing simple floorplan diagrams in a notebook in her Albany, Georgia childhood home. Envisioning how one would experience space physically and emotionally led her to pursue interior design, then architecture in her academic studies and professional career. After spending time in the design industry, Dawn discovered that she didn’t like sitting behind a desk for hours on end and began searching for a more dynamic and authentic way to create. She was strongly drawn to watercolor painting because of the patient and more personal way this practice allowed her to explore without limits.
Forever interested in the spatial intricacies inherent in the design and the sensitivity of human emotion, Dawn tests these complexities through abstraction. She purposefully breaks away from the traditional manner in which watercolor (and sometimes paper) is used and instead engages the intimacy of emotion. Seeking spatial harmony and composition, she translates emotion by creating intense and saturated moves that complement the more ethereal and quiet ones, forever negotiating with her keen, intuitive eye.
Through each uniquely created and original work, Dawn seeks to communicate a beautiful and stirring narrative available to us through the lives we experience.
