Dawn Waters Baker<br />

Canyon<br />

<strong>Language</strong>: Beauty<br />

Dawn feels like her first language was beauty. That<br />

was how her heart was stirred to art. Born and raised<br />

a missionary kid she learned to look for it in the<br />

cracks and crevices of lives much harder then her<br />

own. In college, she learned how to find her own way<br />

to express her heart through painting.<br />

After college Dawn got married. Her husband is a<br />

gentle gift who likes quiet as much as she does.<br />

They had three kids and the quiet left. It birthed a joy<br />

found in working on what’s important and striving for<br />

love in all things.<br />

She likes to think of her work as a “glimpse of the<br />

mystery.” The metaphors of life held in branches,<br />

cloud wisps and water. There is something that<br />

compels Dawn to paint, not what is literally seen but<br />

what is felt. For her, the window into the spiritual is<br />

nature. It seems to be the image that she is invited to<br />

pass through into something much richer and deeper<br />

and full of beauty.<br />

Her art is collected by many businesses as well as<br />

private owners. Some of which are: Dallas Theological<br />

Seminary, Dallas Eye Care Associates, Dallas<br />

Baptist University, Melanie McNutt (of Collin Street<br />

Bakery) and Dr. Mark Young (President of Denver<br />

Seminary).<br />

She currently finished five original drawings for the<br />

book, Why, O God published by Crossway books<br />

has been on the cover of Louise Penny’s New York<br />

Times Bestselling work, Still Life, and Mark S.M.<br />

Scott’s current book, Pathways of Theodicy. She<br />

is a Signature member of <strong>Art</strong>ists of Texas. Dawn is<br />

affiliated with Mary Tomas Gallery in Dallas Design<br />

District, Smith Klein Gallery in Boulder, Colorado,<br />

Davis & Co. in Spring, TX and currently with White<br />

Stone Gallery in Philadelphia, PA.<br />

Her work has been in National shows including The<br />

National Weather Biennale, The Jubilee Museum<br />

Sacred <strong>Art</strong> Biennale, CIVA <strong>Contemporary</strong> Images of<br />

Mary and Ex Nihilo at Roberts Wesleyan College.<br />

Her work is available internationally through Veritasse<br />

based in London, England.<br />
