Dawn Williams Boyd
Visual artist, quilt-maker
Me, Myself and I, Handmade Quilts
In Residence: April 14 – May 22, 2008
Exhibition: May 22 - June 13, 2008

Dawn Williams Boyd is a visual artist and quilt-maker based in Denver. During her residency she will create a large new quilt titled “Me, Myself and I" that depicts her at a quilting bee surrounded by several of the Colfax Community Center students working with her in the Learning Labs. She will also help each student create his or her own quilts as self-portraits. The quilts will employ traditional hand quilting and doll making methods and a wide variety of fabrics and notions. The residency will culminate in a colorful and exuberant exhibition of quilts.

About the artist:
Dawn Williams Boyd has done extensive work in the Denver community working with the Denver Black Arts Festival and the Denver Kwanzaa Committee. She is currently a Director at ULOZI, a collective of African American visual artists. She has given multiple lectures about her art to studnets of all ages at Metro State University, Sankofa Arts Collective’s Back Do’ Studios, Ricks School at the University of Denver, the University of Colorado (Boulder), and Regis University.  Dawn has had numerous exhibitions for her work (over 20 shows of note), both solo exhibitions and group exhibitions.  In 2006, Williams Boyd was selected to be a part of The Best of Colorado Exhibit showcasing distinguished Colorado artists.
