About
Why this artist matters now
Verne Dawson makes paintings spanning still lifes, portraits, and allegorical scenes that investigate myth, folklore, astrology, and pagan spirituality as evidence of continuities in human nature across time. His deliberately naïve, childlike technique belies carefully constructed compositions that seek to reconnect humanity's deep past with the present, often depicting figures in sustained relation to the natural world.
