Jenny Dawson is a ceramic artist, public artist, designer, teacher, consultant & project coordinator.
Since 1993, I have successfully worked as team leader or part of an artist’s team on 52 collaborations to produce art for public spaces. These commissions have come from Percent for Art Scheme (25), government and local government (21) interstate (1) and the private sector (5). The budgets have varied from $10,000 to $244,000.
I bring varied and well developed skills to the organization and planning, research, design, fabrication and installation process. I have been a practising freelance artist since graduating with both a teaching degree and a fine arts degree specializing in ceramics. I have established and run my art practise from the J Shed Studios in Fremantle since 1992. My focus is on design and I work mainly in the public art realm.
