After a successful career as an advertising copywriter in London, I worked from home as a mum of two, a freelance writer, a photographer, an art tutor, a full time artist, and more recently, an author. I split my time between an odd looking house in North London and a 400 year old thatched cottage in Donegal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612307705616-YD3VOQBKQNOP76OS7N5H/IMG_1085.jpg Dawn I’m a Northern Irish artist, illustrator, and children’s author. Born in Derry/Londonderry in 1972, my artistic career began with finely observed drawings of Cinderella’s ballgowns on the pavement outside my house using chalk that my brother and I nicked from the building site up the road. My creative skills earned me the family nickname ‘Dawnie Doodles’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612309292467-27WVC4ARSI1WHZD11BNZ/dawn+photo.jpeg Dawn 2015: I sold my first collection of fairytale inspired drawings to legendary musician Stevie Nicks. ( I knowww!!!) These are now lovingly installed in LA, with the copies at the Daisy Lodge Cancer centre for Children in County Down, Northern Ireland. 2016: A particularly peachy commission saw me become the first woman to become an Artist in Residence of The Savoy in London. I produced ‘The Legend of Melba’ a huge tryptic illustrating the link between opera singer Nellie Melba, The Savoy, and their resulting lovechild: the Peach Melba. 2018: I felt compelled to draw a special pawtrait for a little boy who had lost his beloved Bear. The story behind this inspired me to write and illustrate my first book. 2020: ‘Bear Shaped’ was published in April of 2020, at the beginning of lockdown. 2021: Watch this space… https://www.pencilsatdawn.com/press daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://www.pencilsatdawn.com/bear-shaped-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612539709666-46QXIJ3BTA9IB1D7WQY8/IMG_4629.jpg Bear Shaped - Order Bear Shaped today https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612541895594-VR5AQNWS9BZGZ2MJT3FE/277211_BEAR_SHAPED_PAGES_COLOUR_AMND6%252Bcopy.jpg Bear Shaped https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612541839715-EBU2ZP24OSPZC7I6OHHZ/277211_BEAR_SHAPED_PAGES_COLOUR_AMND9.jpg Bear Shaped https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612541703638-EJ0ZWKZEU0UEU5HJI9YE/277211_BEAR_SHAPED_PAGES_COLOUR_AMND16.jpg Bear Shaped https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612541925470-U72G3YBBGPHRLDQW4AO6/277211_BEAR_SHAPED_PAGES_COLOUR_AMND14%2Bcopy.jpg Bear Shaped https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612542048325-4WSGFD6BFZLPXCLKXIPQ/277211_BEAR_SHAPED_PAGES_COLOUR_AMND9.jpg Bear Shaped https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612542121943-01HNGGTUOIY3YE20KLGV/277211_BEAR_SHAPED_PAGES_COLOUR_AMND10%2B%25281%2529.jpg Bear Shaped https://www.pencilsatdawn.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-09 https://www.pencilsatdawn.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee9df5880cbc000150d93b/1559772841781-IIH5RGD5481YYKXMD58I/image-asset.jpeg Home - The Paloma Podcast is hosted by Fran Tirado, a writer and speaker on all things queer. https://www.pencilsatdawn.com/art-illustration daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://www.pencilsatdawn.com/art-illustration/hairytales monthly 0.5 2021-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6a0f8a64b2ff6c277fcd5e/1612196526321-6YHAOIRF82TI4MWDMT9G/IMG_4345.jpg Pictures - Hairytales Poppy.
