Autumn's mystery Painting

Dawn Lim’s work is subliminal. She follows the Dadaist Andre Breton automation method of making marks and seeing where they lead. Her subjects of late are personal, portraying her beliefs and feelings of faith in life and beyond. The artist uses a variety of mediums, making her own cold wax to mix with oil paint or mixing acrylics with gesso. She finds these mediums interesting to work with, giving a point of difference to her final results. Born in London 1949, Lim emigrated to Australia. She embarked on a career as an outsider artist upon graduation with Bachelor of Arts degree with Honors as a non-traditional student. For the past six years Dawn has been painting full time. She is the recipient of seven Regional Australian Awards. Dawn's work can be found in private art collections in Australia and around the world.
