About Us
My
Story
I am a retired physical therapist who returned to creative work seeking both challenge and purpose. My background in healthcare strongly influences my art, with a focus on raising awareness for often-overlooked and misunderstood populations.
Glassblowing and jewelry design are both meditative and deeply engaging for me. Largely self-taught, I enjoy combining color, texture, and pattern into glass floral forms and wearable pieces that are expressive, meaningful, and fun. Many designs include healing stones or crystals chosen for their subtle symbolism, allowing each piece to feel personal and unique.Function is central to my work. Drawing on my experience helping people navigate physical challenges, I design jewelry that is easy to grasp, put on, and wear comfortably. Unconventional crystal placement often serves both beauty and usability.
I love collaborating with clients to create custom pieces, whether in my studio or virtually, and I enjoy teaching and sharing what I’ve learned. I also host a YouTube channel, Learning with Dawn, where I share demonstrations and insights into my creative process.
Thank you for being here—I invite you to create, learn, and connect with me through my work.
