With her eye for detail and ability to dissect and reassemble photographs like jigsaw puzzles, Dawn Caccavalla breathes life into her subjects with contrasts and variations.

Growing up in Queens, New York, she spent her childhood summers upstate on her family's farm preferring the company of horses to her siblings, and the solitude the countryside offered. Pencil and paper in hand for as long as she can remember, art was always a part of her life.

After earning her Associates of Arts degree from Farmingdale University in 1991 and her Bachelors of Visual Arts degree from Dowling College in 1993, she put her artistic talents to work as a Graphic Artist and Designer developing corporate identities, marketing brands, websites and print material, and now works as a Creative Director where she coordinates and oversees the work of a communications group for a marketing company.
