Spotlight on<br />
Dawn Blanchfield<br />
by HEATHER L. NELSON<br />
Multifaceted artist Dawn Blanchfield has lived in Lincoln the past 15 years, loving the trees<br />
and green open spaces that remind her of childhood in Michigan–where she first began<br />
painting, drawing, and taking classes. The quintessential creative, Blanchfield works in<br />
a variety of mediums: pen and ink, printmaking, acrylics, collage, encaustic, watercolor,<br />
ceramics, fiber, and digital art—most recently adding sewing and jewelry to her arsenal. “I may look<br />
like a mild-mannered mom from the suburbs, but at heart I’m an old punk rocker from Detroit,”<br />
shares Blanchfield. “I love The Clash, David Bowie, all things gritty and dark, bold black and white<br />
graphics of woodcuts, religious iconography, symbolism, folklore, graphic novels, etc.” Narrative in<br />
nature, the honest, authentic artist expresses her emotions and experiences into her diverse works—<br />
whose themes range from skeletons and skulls, to ravens, wolves, life, death, mythology, and more.<br />
