Dawn Spence is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow. After earning a degree in Contemporary and Fine Art in 2018, she refined her practice through classical training in Florence. This dual foundation, blending modern concepts with traditional techniques, continues to shape her evolving body of work. 

Her art explores the tension and harmony between old and new, resulting in a style that is both contemplative and dynamic. Spence aims to create artwork that peacefully overwhelms - inviting stillness, reflection, and personal interpretation. Recognised as an emerging talent, she received a Creative Scotland Grant in 2021, which helped nurture her artistic endeavours. 

Her solo exhibitions, including ‘Flourish’ at the New Glasgow Society,‘Encounter’ at BOX Hub and ‘Freedom’ at the Alchemy experiment showcase her evolving style and unique perspective. Dawn has also contributed to numerous - exhibitions, such as the London Art Biennale 2025 in Chelsea and the SSA 126th Annual Show at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh.
