Whimsical paintings with earth energy, made to heal the inner child
Dawn Howell is a Texas-based artist whose whimsical, color-drenched paintings are created to heal the inner child and uplift the soul. Rooted in nature, nostalgia, and emotional memory, her work blends dreamy imagery with intentional earth energy — many pieces incorporating real crystals and minerals like selenite, amethyst, and mica that carry healing properties into the work itself.
Dawn's paintings are born from her own journey of healing — after a spinal injury left her unable to create for a year, she returned to painting as a path back to herself. That experience lives in every piece: the color, the softness, the quiet invitation to feel something tender and true.
Her work has been featured in Create! Magazine Issues 55 & 56 — Issue 56 curated by internationally acclaimed collector and art world powerhouse Sonia Borrell. She is represented by Studio to Gallery (founded by Sonia Borrell), PxP Contemporary on Artsy, and Warnes Contemporary in Brooklyn, NY, with 17+ exhibitions across the United States.
Each original painting ships from Dawn's studio in Texas, directly from the artist to your door. One of a kind. Made with love and intention.
Testimonial: "I took your paintings out into my cottage garden in the spirit of manifesting monarchs — and then look what happened the next day. A monarch appeared. You imbued magic into them, I swear." - Kelly S.
