Dawn was born in the Midwest of Italian-Irish heritage. She is a self-taught artist with Midwestern sensibilities and a sophisticated eye for style. Dawn is the founder of Notre Monde, the elegant furniture company, which has become a direct expression of the artists’ cheerful, ongoing immersion into various cultures through travel. Dawn draws her inspiration not only from extensive European travels but also her experience from making a home in Russia and Western Europe before settling in Columbus, Ohio. Motifs and methods used in her products show their interest in the art and design of Eastern and Western Europe, but perhaps even more important, her respect for ways in which other communities embrace the good life. Dawn has the fanciful stylistic intuition of an aesthete, though one firmly grounded in the disciplines of mural painting and contemporary art and design. Melding luxury with practicality, in the spirit of decorative objects from 18th century Europe to the present day.

Dawn draws her inspiration from extensive European travels and her experience of making a home in Russia and Western Europe before settling in Columbus, Ohio. The motifs and methods used in her products show their interest in the art and design of Eastern and Western Europe, but perhaps even more importantly, her respect for the ways other communities embrace the good life. Dawn has the fanciful stylistic intuition of an aesthete, though one firmly grounded in the disciplines of mural painting and contemporary art and design. She is melding luxury with practicality, in the spirit of decorative objects from 18th century Europe to the present day.

After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in 1998, Blakely Bering put her studies in costume and set design to direct use by working in opera design and television production around the United States, before returning to her home of Texas. Transitioning from large-scale design to fine art was seamless and natural for her. Painting figurative abstractions and “Blooms” at first, Blakely’s art evolved into pure abstraction. Experimenting with techniques, mediums, and styles; the “Oil slick” developed in 2006, recognized as Blakely’s classic style. Reflecting her theatrical sense, the artwork is powerful from thirty feet away. Inspired by her love of cooking, Blakely combines oils, powdered pigments, crushed metals, and secret ingredients, from scratch, to create her own paint mixtures. Her work is known not only for its beauty and sense of frozen movement but for its sustained ability over time.
