About Dawn Meader
Dawn Meader was a Fremantle artist known for her spiritual and joyful work in painting, stained glass, and mosaics, with a career spanning over 30 years. Born in the UK, she emigrated to Australia in 1985 and was deeply inspired by meditation and nature, which she used to create art described as spiritual realism, with a focus on color and light. She passed away in 2023 after a brief illness, and a retrospective exhibition is planned for January 2026 to honor her legacy.
