About Me
- Dawn Wagner
- Thousand Oaks, CA, United States
- Dawn created her first street painting back in 1988 at the I Madonnari festival in Santa Barbara and immediately fell in love with the art form. She is proud to say that she has participated in at least one festival per year, over the last 35 years. Dawn has been featured around the country, won many awards, and her art has been used in commercial and promotional work. Dawn’s street art has evolved from specializing in classic reproductions, such as pieces that honor the art form’s Italian origins as well as her ancestry, to more contemporary perspective pieces that utilize the 3-dimensional relationship between the viewer and the pavement. Like many of her Renaissance idols, Dawn has spent her life combining Art and Science. She completed an Art Minor while pursuing her Physics and Engineering degrees, and continued to travel to festivals while working in the Aerospace, Semiconductor, and now advanced imaging industries. Dawn has enjoyed sharing her love of the medium with other artists through chalk art workshops, organizing children's festivals during her boys' elementary school years, and with the audience that comes to watch her pieces emerge from the pavement.
