Sharing the transformative
power of art
Dawn is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who has worked primarily with painting and sculpture. Dawn’s humble practice has been preoccupied with the notion of Flow and the connection between a broad range of artistic mediums and her body. Art has become Dawn’s mentor and humbler alongside her own inner work journey, which has inspired her to share art therapy as a mode of healing for those around her to realise the depths of their true nature.
As an art therapist, Dawn’s passion lies in working in women’s empowerment and addiction rehabilitation from a people-centric, insight-oriented, psychodynamic approach. She has guided and supported individuals and groups in private art psychotherapy sessions and art-based wellness workshops. Dawn is passionate about sharing love, building connection and being present in journeying with her clients.
In her practice, Dawn has completed over 400 paintings and has held nine major solo art exhibitions in collaboration with Singapore Tourism Board in Beijing, The American Club, Spanish Tourism Office, The Swiss Embassy and The American Club.
Dawn works closely with several charities for the underprivileged. She has auctioned her artworks and raised over S$400,000 for various charities including: Vietnam Outreach, The New Charis Mission, National Cancer Institute, Heart Foundation, Kidney Dialysis Foundation and Asian Women’s Welfare Association.

Individual & Group Art Psychotherapy
Art Therapy is psychotherapeutic modality that can provide sensory engagement, which over time, allows for emotions to be processed in our brain’s limbic system and grants us cognitive insights in novel ways. The creative space for the reflection of the self through art-making is powerful in aiding emotional expression, regulation and inner reconciliation within the self.
Art therapy can be experienced individually or in groups, depending on the needs and goals of the client(s). It is neither an an art lesson or test, and clients are not required to have any prior experience in art-making. Using attachment-based psychotherapy, mindfulness and a trauma-informed framework, art therapy can deepen an awareness of bodily responses to past trauma, improve self-esteem and self-awareness and unveil cognitive insights about oneself.
Private & Corporate Workshops
Dawn offers private mindfulness-based art workshops including Resin Jewellery making, Beading, Linocut and Clay workshops for private clients, groups and and corporate clients. Workshops are offered upon request.
“Dawn is a really astute and effective teacher. I’ve gone for pottery classes before but clearly didn’t master the basics, which is why I couldn’t centre my pieces. After one session with her, I realised exactly what I had been doing wrong all this time and was able to correct my wrong techniques.”
