Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D.. as an artist, has had a prolific art career, starting her drawing and crafting at age five, then moving into construction paper mixed media, doll-making, clothing construction, and then miniatures (dollhouses and doll furniture) by her teens.
She entered Virginia Commonwealth University in the Fine Art Program, then after her sophomore year, dropped out for a few years, then re-entered Radford Universities Graphic Advertising and Illustration Bachelor of Fine Art program. From that point, she was active in pen and ink illustrations, quilt-making, crocheting, and other mixed media art. While she wasn’t able to make a living in the world of art between the mid-1980s to 2000, she did continue to enmesh herself in every possible type of art she could while raising a family and working full-time.
Fast forward to 2013 and after graduating with her Ph.D. she started devoting her time and energy back to her artwork in the evenings while she opened up a consulting business. In only a few years she managed to create and publish over 40 ’big kid’ coloring books, and continued to pursue her favorite type of art - pen and ink illustrations of historic and abandoned architecture, including the restored colonial district of the city of Williamsburg Virginia.
She decided to compile her hundreds of drawings into a series of sample books - coloring pages, pen and ink drawings, cartoons - and to also showcase photos of some of her mixed media pieces (which may be noted as for sale inside the book). You will delight at the chock-full of information pages of background history, photos, and illustrations.

Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D. has been drawing since she was five years old. She attended Virginia Commonwealth University’s, Bachelor of Art Program, and then re-engaged later at Radford University, earning her BFA in Graphic Design and Illustration. She returned to Virginia Commonwealth University to earn her Master’s Degree in Adult Education, and then attended Old Dominion University for her Doctorate of Philosophy in Education (STEMPS/OTS/T&D/HR).
Over the years she has developed a distinctive style for her pen and ink illustrations of old barns and houses, as well as Colonial Williamsburg architectural portraiture. She currently works in mixed-media from recycled magazines to create 3-D images of stylistic animals and mandalas, using childhood craft processes (bubble-gum chains, paper footballs, and quilling techniques) to create sophisticated paper baskets ’crocheted’ woven together in a non-traditional way. This is used to her advantage in creating imaginative illustrations of the delightful fairy houses and fairy doors.
She is the author of 125+ books on the topics of business, career search practices, mandala books for hypnotherapy and meditation, 14+ coloring books for adults, women and gender studies, quotes for self-improvement (-2,000+- & -3,000+- series), as well as genealogy and family lineage. She assists other authors publish their manuscripts in the print-on-demand market and also has a series of books entitled: Interview with An Artist. The interview books compile artists’ interviews with photos of the artist’s work to assist the artists in marketing and branding their work to an international marketplace.
She completed her doctor of philosophy studies May 2013 at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA in Education (Occupational & Technical Studies, with a concentration in Training & Development in Human Resources).
