She was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, spent her childhood in London, England and her adolescence in Kelowna, BC, Canada, the unceded territory of the Okanagan Peoples. She has lived in Vancouver, Canada, Coast Salish territory, her whole adult life. Dawn believes that making art should not be the private domain of the "talented" or "learned" few.
