Over the past three decades, Dawson has completed major assignments and appeared in national publications for the National Geographic Society, National Wildlife Federation, Audubon Society, United Nations and ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center.
Along with art on display at Kilauea Visitor Center, one of Dawson’s proudest accomplishments is the Nature in America stamp series created for the U.S. Postal Service. The final installment, issued Sept. 1, 2010, was a lively depiction of the Hawaiian rain forest.
A gallery reception will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4 from 5-7 p.m. For more information, visit www.volcanoartcenter.org or contact VAC Gallery Manager Emily Catey at 967-8222 or gallery@volcanoartcenter.org.
