Even if you had a chance to read our recent article on artist Allison Dawrant, you may have more questions about her. That’s because the story was uniquely told from the point of view of Dawrant’s adorable rescue dog Oakley. In the hopes of shining more light on Dawrant’s work, we returned to discuss her creative evolution in further detail. You can enjoy that conversation below without reading the companion piece—but if you haven’t, go ahead and read it when you’re done. And keep your eye out at the end of this newsletter for updates on the future of Women Create!
How would you describe your work to someone about to encounter it for the first time?
Uniquely recognizable, colorful, calming, uplifting and dreamy. I paint primarily with watercolor, acrylics, and recently have been incorporating dried botanicals and leaves into my work. Sometimes I add words to my “Art Poetry” paintings, and I love using blank space as a resting place for the eye and mind. It reminds me of silence in a conversation—how for some, that can feel awkward, but silence can be just as powerful as words. The blank space amplifies the imagery.
