Dawn Schmidt

Growing up in southern Manitoba, Dawn was drawn to the arts from an early age, always drawing, painting and making music. Under the influence of her grandmother, a talented landscape painter, Dawn began to develop as an artist. Building on her talent through courses and involvement with the local arts council, Dawn has matured as an artist and works primarily in the medium of acrylics. Dawn’s work brings a bold and vibrant colour palette to her lively studies of our city’s historic streetscapes and province’s natural beauty. Key characteristics of her work include an intensity of colour and the ability to capture the light and many reflections of the prairie sky.

Dawn has painted live on stage with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, she has received commissions from many local organizations and her work hangs in private collections across North America.
