About the Artist

Dawn Bisharat is an award winning Connecticut based artist. She was raised in Los Angeles, California and was successful as a young concert pianist, performing throughout California with the Bisharat Trio.
Dawn is a graduate of Bennington College, where she studied painting under Pat Adams.
After raising her daughters in Madison, Connecticut, where she continues to be a full-time music teacher, her inspiration continued to grow and her passion for painting was re-ignited.
Over the last several years, Dawn has been juried into various Connecticut art associations and galleries. Most notably, the Greenwich Art Association’s Bendheim Gallery by juror Allison Rudnick (Associate Curator in the department of Drawings and Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art).

Artist Statement

Painting has allowed me to explore the world and see things more openly. From the continually changing warm shades of light to the cold winter marsh mornings, inspiration can always be found. I am at my happiest connecting with my brush and easel, laying down the day’s adventures to canvas. To have a passion that is both beautiful and challenging, allows for a satisfying finish to the day and I can’t imagine being anywhere else.
