Color Muse: Dawn Okoro

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!  I’m kicking off the week with a new series called Color Muse.  The series is to showcase artists, designers, fashionistas – anyone who uses color to ignite their creativity.

If you or someone you know is interested in being featured, shoot me an email at amanda@theaudacityofcolor.com or drop me a line on the Contact page.

My first guest is Dawn Okoro.

AOC: Where are you from?

Dawn: I was raised in Lubbock, Texas, but moved to Austin for college and lived there several years.  I moved to New York City a year ago.

AOC: What do you do?

I am a visual artist.  I mostly paint, draw, and take photographs.

AOC: How does color inspire you?

Dawn: Color helps set the mood for a painting.  For example, red may convey a sense of power, while blue may produce a more serene, calm mood.

AOC: If there was one color used to describe you, what would it be and why?

Dawn: Green would describe me best because it is peaceful.

AOC: Where can we find you?

Dawn: You can view my work and info about upcoming shows at http://www.dawnokoro.com.

Many thanks to Dawn for sharing her work with us.  Be sure to check her out!
