Dawn Elise Edelman is a mother, acupuncturist, and creative. She cherishes the moments when she can exist in a world without time or construct so she can feel the forces of Nature at play. It is in these moments that Dawn visually explores how the energy of our bodies interacts with the world around us, how it moves and transforms. Within our physical structure, is this energy open and spacious or dense and restrictive?  She has sensed what we were before, and feels the density and its implications now, drawing large deconstructed bodies that exist without preconceived notions or boundaries. Her creative process leans into movement as she continually draws, erases, and draws again, carving out the path to a completed piece.

Dawn has no art degree and enjoys participating in art classes intermittently. She mostly draws on a large scale so the viewer sees and feels the process of transformation.  Her Dallas-based acupuncture practice is rich and fulfilling, inspiring much of her artwork and perspective on all things.
