Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D.. as an artist, has had a prolific art career, starting her drawing and crafting at age five, then moving into construction paper mixed media, doll-making, clothing construction, and then miniatures (dollhouses and doll furniture) by her teens.
She entered Virginia Commonwealth University in the Fine Art Program, then after her sophomore year, dropped out for a few years, then re-entered Radford Universities Graphic Advertising and Illustration Bachelor of Fine Art program. From that point, she was active in pen and ink illustrations, quilt-making, crocheting, and other mixed media art. While she wasn't able to make a living in the world of art between the mid-1980s to 2000, she did continue to enmesh herself in every possible type of art she could while raising a family and working full-time.
Fast forward to 2013 and after graduating with her Ph.D. she started devoting her time and energy back to her artwork in the evenings while she opened up a consulting business. In only a few years she managed to create and publish over 40 'big kid' coloring books, and continued to pursue her favorite type of art - pen and ink illustrations of historic and abandoned architecture, including the restored colonial district of the city of Williamsburg Virginia.
She decided to compile her hundreds of drawings into a series of sample books - coloring pages, pen and ink drawings, cartoons - and to also showcase photos of some of her mixed media pieces (which may be noted as for sale inside the book). You will delight at the chock-full of information pages of background history, photos, and illustrations.
