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 in 1991 and her Bachelors of Visual Arts degree in 1993, Dawn put her artistic talents to use as a Creative Director developing corporate identities, marketing brands, websites and print material; worked at an agency stripping down and rebuilding websites to provide maximum traffic and usability; and now works for a leading provider of consumer, business-to-business, and industrial imaging solutions, where she recently overhauled the design and usability of a Fortune 500 company's web presence.
