Dawn Banning comes by her passion for nature
quite honestly. Her mother, a nurse and avid gardener, has
always loved to be outdoors. With her father employed as a
park conservation officer, Banning quickly came to love all
the things in nature that she encountered daily in
Saskatchewan’s Provincial Parks.
She has been deeply influenced
by the vast diversity of Canadian regions in which she has
resided, from the big sky of Saskatchewan, to the vibrancy
of the Yukon, the lush forests of B.C, to the colourful
parks of Ontario. Many public, corporate and private
collectors have acquired Banning’s works, in all regions of
Canada, internationally in the US, Grand Cayman, and Taiwan.
As a strong supporter of charities, she
donates work each year in support of various fund-raising
activities.
She was selected to be a signature member of
the prestigious AFC Foundation (Artists for Conservation) in
2009. |
