Dawn Conn
My sculptures draw on my love of figurative expression and has always represented my vision and spirit of merging memory, wonder and joy. Each holds its own narrative and own emotional connection.
Spending my formative years on a farm in New Zealand, I draw a lot of inspiration from the simplicity, style and stories of my childhood. After studying art history and escorting tour groups around Europe, I made a natural transition into creating sculptures, combing my love in using my hands and passion for art.
I channel memories and emotions into figurative sculptural forms that are rooted in human connections. While the truth of the figure is important to me, my aim is to evoke the moment - the energy, the glee, our curiosity, the tenderness in our hearts.
My personal passion is in evidence in my work which is underpinned by a gentle sense of humour and a slightly whimsical take on life which mirrors my own; brimming with adventure, travel, people and places.
My unique mixed media (can be cast in bronze also) and limited edition bronze are found in private and public collections in UK and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, Switzerland the USA.
I established my sculpture business in Australia in 2010 and relocated back to Europe in early 2016, where I am currently based in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
Sculpture works are for sale, possibly including those illustrated here. Please get in touch with the artist using the contact details below, for further information.
