Dawn Lim

Dawn Lorraine Lim-Outsider Artist   I am a professional, Outsider visual artist, located at Lake Burrumbeet, 10kms west of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. I paint Abstract Paintings because I want to create not just copy, and I use  oil paint by preference, on stretched canvas. I  also teach Art  in all the different genres of painting and drawing eg Portraits, Landscape, still life, and Abstract art in most  mediums.   Born in England, I am a self-taught artist from childhood. In my late teens I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Making my home in Australia I studied painting, majoring in abstract art and graduating with honours at University. Due to my illness, I found myself in the category of an Outsider Artist. I enjoy following the Surrealist technique of making marks and communicating with what is found.
