The Artist

Dawn Gerety

I was born in Sydney, Australia and raised across the globe in Girdwood, Alaska. From sculpture to pottery, wood working to jewelry making, and painting to fused glass, I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong Alaskan, I’m moved by the natural splendor that has surrounded me my entire life – mountains, wildlife, rivers, wildflowers and outdoor activities. I paint these images and create my own language with a swipe of color or a rigid line of dots. I inject a fiercely whimsical vitality to Alaskan icons the only way I know how.
