When I started doing some of the artists of the Big Island, I kept saying, "this is my favorite", only to decide that I have many " favorites".
One is JOHND. DAWSON, who like me is a native Californian. Born and raised in San Diego, he graduated from the Art Center School in Los Angeles (now the Art Center College of Art and Design).
He worked in advertising while doing his art and fortunately for us, he moved on to art full time.`````````
Of all the artists who work on this island, he is perhaps the best known having had major assignments from the US Postal Service (for 30 years), the United Nations, Audubon, National Geographic Society & NG Magazine, University of Hawaii, etc.``````````````
He and his wife have lived in Hilo for over 22 years.
