In her own work and due to the nature of her teaching, Dawn enjoys experimenting a lot with her style with the use Of Oils, acrylics, watercolours, and mixed media.

Dawn loves to paint landscapes and loves compositions which include empty spaces. For her, what is left out is always as important as what is included.

"My interest in landscapes is in the communication of a sense of space. I like to work loosely with limited information to offer the idea of a place, which I hope generates personal responses in the viewer". -Dawn Cox.

Dawn also loves to paint portraits of both people and animals. She says;

“In all my work. I am fascinated by mark making and find Joy in creating art from a series of marks, colours, tones, shapes and textures. It's like alchemy.!”
