Dawning McGinnis is an Oregonian interdisciplinary Artist who looks to nature, history, and culture for inspiration. She is known for her acrylic painting, murals, and art classes.

Dawning was raised by a large family of artists in an alternative lifestyle. Through the support of her family, Dawning has found a passion for everything the art world has to offer. Even Dawning’s hobbies are artistic. When Dawning isn’t painting or teaching, you’ll find her Sand Raking at the beach, enjoying music, dancing, writing, wheel throwing ceramics, or creating digital art.

Dawning loves the beauty of expression no matter what form it takes. Dawning studied psychology in college so that she could learn more about emotions, how they are expressed, to express herself more accurately, and how to help others freely express themselves. Dawning has a real talent for communicating, and making everyone she encounters feel good about themselves both through her positive attitude and through art.
