Picture


​Dawn = the first light in the sky in the morning - a beginning - to become understood
Livera = associated with "Libera" - freedom, liberty and "Oliveira" - peace, victory.​​​​
Picture"Loom and Dawn working hard" drawn by a young girl named Maria who lives in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Dawn Livera is a textile and mixed media artist who believes that “there are no mistakes”.  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. Rather, everyone should feel free to explore their own creativity without worrying about whether their art is "good enough". 


"I move through the world without a plan, guided by instinct, connecting through trust, and constantly watching for serendipitous opportunities. "
― Rita Golden Gelman author of "Tales of a Female Nomad"
