Dawn Holliday

    About Me: I am a 23 year old self-representing artist, selling my art nationally and internationally, currently through my ebay shop. I paint mostly in watercolour and acrylic but do love oils when I get a chance. I paint enchanted and magical beings such as unicorns, faeries, mermaids, winged rabbits and deer. It seemed to happen almost over night. I think the subject matter chose me, rather than the other way around ;)

    I am also a spiritual person, on an endless soul-searching, truth seeking journey. I want more than anything to bring hope, joy, magic and beauty into the lives of those who come into contact with me and my art. I feel deep down that I am here to help make the world a better place...
    Music: Muse, Radiohead, Ocean Colour Scene, Travis, Within Temptation, Coldplay, Damien Rice, Bat For Lashes, Martin Grech, Loreena Mckennit, Enya and many more.. Anything that speaks to me, be it with melody lyrics or just that certain something...
    Movies: The Last Unicorn, Legend, Moulin Rouge, Watership Down, Black Beauty, The Lord Of the Rings, Harry Potter...
    Books: Almost anything fantasy or metaphysical, I'm also enjoying reading about space, dimensions and superstrings in 'The Elegant Universe'
    Likes: Dappled light, rainbows, bunnies, gentle spring rain, ominous storms, the wind in my hair, the echo of a clear blue sky, bluebells, willow trees, moments in time that stand still, fateful meetings, gatherings by firelight, lanterns, watering cans, glitter, irridescant wings, moonlit water, gentle blue seas with rockpools, birdsong, being held, snowflakes, does eye's, morning dewdrops, autumn sun, half-formed whispers, portals, that balmy, dusky summer evening smell, eternal love...

    An Introduction to Dawn

    This will be my very first blog here at Enchanted Folk! I was sent a message through myspace about this site and was intruiged so I decided to come along and play :) It's about time somebody made a sight like this especially for us folks intune with the unseen and magical.


    I guess I should really introduce myself properly. My name is Dawn Holliday, it's a name I've grown to love and be thankful for over my 21 years of being in this body. I began my journey as a self representing artist in May 2006 (Much to my college teachers dismay I refused to go to university.) It was one of the most challenging years of my life, as soon after my father passed away at 40 yrs old. I wont deny that overcoming that has not been easy and I'm still not quite there yet. But having my art and ambitions to inspire and motivate me has helped immensly. A huge thank you is in order to Jonny my partner who has been my rock and has supported me so much.

    Well life is beginning to look much sunnier again and I have many things planned for my art. I also hope to begin my children's book involving Moon Bunnies, some characters that somehow found their way into my mind. The large picture is white Moon Bunny with the wings of a lunar moth, one of the rarer kind! Much more common are the black ones with feathered wings.

    As for my art, it has always been there. I can't really remember a time when I wasn't putting my feelings down into pictures. I'd like to think my art often carries raw honest emotion, innocence of heart and magic, all the things a child seems to born with yet we tend to forget along the way. I'm determined not to forget.. not only that but to remind others.. The world is as you see it. Some see it as harsh, full of pain and mundane routines. Of course life can be that if that is what you make it. But when I look with my heart and soul I see such endless and awe inspiring beauty, sometimes in smallest or seemingly insignificant of things. I see things that move when you're not looking. I hear the utterings of nature and the universe. I feel time unravel and reveal ancient mysteries. I know the truth of love and that all else is our own illusion, but one we chose non the less. Remember that you can choose differently at any time :)

     

    Always in love,

    Dawn
