Pastel artist Dawn Limbert lives and works in North London. Originally from Yorkshire she relishes visits to the park and woods near to her home and tries to harness the experience of being immersed in nature. She records the beauty of the natural environment using lively marks of exaggerated colour, capturing moments when the light presents a scene in such a way that all of its textures, colours and patterns are revealed. Dawn’s larger works are crafted in her studio from sketches and photos to recreate her experiences of the vivid life of nature.
Her favourite subject are Landscapes, and she is never happier than when she is outside with her easel seeking to capture nature in all of its glory. Back in her studio she likes to paint listening to music which brings even more energy to her mark making.
Dawn exhibits with the Pastel Society, UK and the Society of Graphic Fine Art at Mall Galleries, London and this year was long listed for Jacksons Painting Prize. She has also been selected for the TALP Open at Patchings Art Festival.

Iceland is a unique and spiritual country bursting with inspiration for artists. I was lucky enough to travel there in December, 2021 and on my return I built a small body of work based on this fantastic experience
It seems a while ago since we asked for applications from artists to become an Associate Artists & wow the applications came in thick & fast. So much so it took our Unison Helen a good while to get through them all.
As a pastel artist who loves to paint landscapes, sketching in my local nature reserve in North London is at the heart of my practice.
