Hello, my name is Dawn Van Win and I’m a mixed media artist, although I think of myself more as a 'creative explorer’. 

I enjoy experimenting with a wide range of materials and processes and my work can encompass painting, textiles, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, poetry or  jewellery making - whichever medium best expresses an idea.

I am inspired by both the external natural world and our own internal one. 

My working processes vary dependant upon the materials I am working with; a starting point can be from either an initial thought concept or from an external source of inspiration. 

I work intuitively and ‘follow the work’ wherever it wants to go - for me, being open to exploring a piece in this way leads to a more enriching creative experience and leaves room for moments of magic to occur!
