Moments of
stillness, subtlety, snatches of serenity - captured and framed - best describe
Dawn Mitchell's work. Drawing from nature, her mixed media pieces, reflect the
ever present, the ever changing ; donegal on a grey day, the barren burren, the
breathy feel and rustle of the west wind..... catching these fleeting moments we
so often miss in the constant inspiration and life force behind each piece.
