Biography:

Dawn Sandy was born in Roebourne in 1976 and is the daughter of Yindjibarndi artist, Celia Sandy. Dawn started painting at the end of 2006 and took a TAFE short course in painting and design which upskilled her already natural abilities.

Dawn is a confident artist whose ideas flow freely and easily on to the canvas. She is naturally gifted in design and has a sure sense of colour. The inspiration for her paintings comes from spending time in her Country at different times of the year: the rocks, with the rich colours that pass over their surfaces at varying times of the day; the river and the bush flowers. She mostly paints from an aerial perspective and has developed a number of styles to depict her various subjects.

Dawn has won numerous awards for her unique style and her artwork has been collected nationally and internationally.
