Dawn Hart is a local artist serving on the art faculty at Clovis Community College. She received her AA from Clovis Center, Reedley College, and her BA and MA from Fresno State. Dawn works in her North Fork studio, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Her process involves research, on site exploration and gathering, and an intensive studio practice. Dawn’s enduring interests revolve around concepts of the natural environment and the importance of place, recently amplified by wildfires that threaten her home, community, and surrounding forest. Dawn will be teaching an honors seminar course in the spring 2024 semester titled: “Place Making” and will be exhibiting work at the Porterville Community College Gallery in fall 2024.
