Dawn Ayres is a painter who was born in Wales, but has lived most of her life in England. Married with three children she now lives in Somerset. Happiest at home Dawn is a figurative artist who prefers to focus on the people she knows and their environments.

Dawn’s work is shaped by the time spent engaging with her family, communicating a deeply reflective mood inspired by her intuitions and ideas that transgress her inner life.

“My work centres on the people I know and their own inner worlds. It gives me a deep sense of belonging and connection. I think it’s important to express not just what you see but what you feel! Shared emotions that linger within the work.”
