Dawn Allen defines her art medium as digital art fiber, for which she has invented her own technique. She starts with photos she has taken, using her computer to transform the image into repeating patterns of bright color. She then wields her computer stylus pen to freehand draw a new image. Once she is satisfied with her digital painting, Allen typically prints the image on fabric and finishes the piece in the style of a quilt with three layers of batting, backing and stitching. The result is richly textured artwork full of color and life that reminds viewers of the good times in their lives.
