Hey there!
I’m Dawn, the creative mind behind Vivayne, an art studio creating colorful, uplifting artwork for products, paper goods, gifts, and home décor. Rooted in joy and encouragement, my work celebrates the beauty and possibilities found in everyday life. Inspired by childhood days at the beach, horseback riding, and a lifelong love of adventure, my art reflects freedom, energy, happiness, curiosity, and wonder. My appreciation for God’s creation is woven throughout my work, from its connection to nature to its celebration of life’s simple joys.
Drawn to patterns, decorative motifs, nature, inspirational themes, and hand lettering, I create artwork through digital media, watercolor, pen, acrylic, pencil, and pastel.
With an intuitive and experimental spirit, I develop art for licensing across prints, greeting cards, stationery, gifts, and home décor. My work is designed to feel fresh, warm, joyful, optimistic, and full of heart—bringing encouragement and a little more joy to everyday life.
