One of my main passions is walking and photographing my journey. The feeling of being outdoors and appreciating the natural wonders of planet earth, seeing the changes throughout all the seasons. Here is part of my collection of my natural photography images.

Onwards On and On
I could write a long long list of do's and don't for 2014, however I'm not gonna bother. I'll only forget after two weeks anyway, so questioned myself 'Why' 'What's the Point'. When did I ever think 'What were my New Years Resolutions. Damn it!! Why didn't I?
Learning experiences happen daily so my thing is to just deal with it as and when, cherish my family and friends, embrace all things that make me happy and for every negative, try and outweigh it with a positive. Life is challenging, it's a struggle at times, and I choose to have the determination to not let it grind me down as it so easily could if I allow it to. So here's to the fun, the happy moments, that we each own, and I will grasp, preserve, and hold onto those feelings for as long as they may last. All the Best!

Patterns
When I was a child I used to sit for hours making my own patterns
using crayons, felt tips, pencils, pens. I made patterns with my eyes
from materials around me, a fixation I had that has led me to produce
this body of work. A wide range of materials I've used to create these
including photographs, charcoal, paint, ink and water.

New Year
I'm not making any New Year resolutions; just to continue learning, exploring and experimenting with everything I love and enjoy in life. Resolutions are made at the end of every experience so continuation of lessons I've learned from and focusing on the positive are my ongoing aims from 2012. Everything else will be dealt with as and when. All the Best Dawn x

Surreal Clouds
I was initially inspired to create
this surreal cloud series of work by Alfred Stieglitz’, who produced a
body of work photographing clouds and in this, included his feelings in
an abstract form. This took me back to when I was a child laying out on
the field, looking up at the sky, seeing different forms and using my
imagination to create surrealistic worlds.
Surrealism
is above all a reawakening of the poetic idea in art, the
reintroduction of the subject but in a very particular sense, that of
the strange and illogical. (Paul Delvaux)

Reflections Art
The series of work 'Reflections' combines photography with digital painting and techniques to create this body of artwork. The music was created using samples from GarageBand.

Essence of Structure
As I lay me down and close my eyes
You appear without invitation
I bid you goodbye, 'begone'
You're not welcome in my thoughts
But still you come.
But still you come.
You challenge me, I challenge you
I've grown, I learn, I live, I'm free
You're conquered and cease to exist
Until you next visit
I no longer fear you.
