Dawn Bassett is something of an outlier in the world of fine art. She didn’t have any artists in her family; she grew up far from any town in the mountains where a career in the arts was as close as a walk on the moon. She didn’t go to art school; and she didn’t chart an immediate path into a career in fine art. But since childhood, Dawn’s vivid mindscape and ability to create with her hands what those visions entailed, has been core to her very existence.
