Dawn Herring
ABOUT ME
My name is Dawn Herring. Artist, Illustrator, Musician & Song Writer and Avid Journal Keeper.

I am a woman who enjoys vibrant color, art supplies, and stirring story arcs and lyric lines that resonate.

I love to express myself through pen and pencil, fabric and collage, song writing and playing piano, writing my thoughts, journal keeping, and prayer. 

My favorite sounds are lingering notes on the piano, words, coos and laughter from grandchildren, purrs and meows from our beloved strays, and melodies in the mind that inspire.

My favorite textures are layers of paint, paper, and fabric, soft plushy things, the bark of a tree, the soft fur on a cat, the crunch of pecans, and the look of pastel. 

I am inspired by design, music that stirs my soul, deeply descriptive words that paint a picture in my mind or make me laugh, colors that sing, a story line that resonates and gives me something to contemplate. 

You can find me playing spiritual songs on the piano, getting in the zone with my art journal, illustrating my day, writing my thoughts in a journal, or laughing with or working in the office with my partner and husband, Bill. 

I also enjoy going for walks as I listen to various podcasts and doing Tai Chi to keep flexible and balanced as I age. 

My Connection to Spirit is of vital importance to me; it’s where my intuition is most vibrant, wisdom is at the ready to help me gain clarity and where I receive songs that speak to my soul. 

Here at Refresh with Dawn Herring: Where It's Time to Play, it is my delight to inspire you towards a more creative approach to your daily experience by making more time to play in a way that honors your own aesthetic so that you can experience a soul-deep level of satisfaction; you can then feel enabled to leave your meaningful mark in the world,

RANDOM FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME

I'm 5 feet tall.
I attended Morris County Vocational School for Commercial Art.
I prefer watercolor paint over acrylic due to its transparency and ability to be lifted once down on paper unless it's highly staining.
I started drawing at a very young age and enjoyed illustrating fashion (Still do!) and doing portraiture for many years.
I'm mom to two grown daughters.
I'm a grandma to two grandsons who bring me great joy.
I've had two cats in my lifetime and enjoy interacting with and feeding our beloved stray cats in the neighborhood! 
I love vibrant color and the spiral as a motif. Design fascinates me and I love creating detail and texture with colored pencil, pastel, pens and inks.
I have always loved fashion illustration and still enjoy drawing fashion, whether in larger form or in my evening illustration in my journal.
I love singing, writing spiritual songs and am in my fifth year of playing piano by ear.
I think in music.
