Ah sunflower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done.

Where the youth pined away with desire
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from their graves and aspire,
Where my sunflower wishes to go.

Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Dawn McCracken studied at the University of New Brunswick on a Beaverbrook Scholarship. She studied painting at the Art School of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for four years with; Arthur Lismer, Gentile Tondino, Jacques de Tonnancour and Moe Reinblatt. Further art studies included summer school sessions at the University of New Brunswick with Fritz Brandtner and Alfred Pinsky and at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario with André Bieler and George Swinton.

The artist moved to the United States in 1964 where she worked as Production Manager of Publications for the American Kennel Club in New York City. During that time she completed two courses in Graphic Design at the Printing Institute of Metropolitan New York.

McCracken's work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions and her paintings are part of many corporate, private and public collections.

Now living in New Brunswick and recently retired as Graphic Artist for the New Brunswick Teacher's Association, Dawn devotes her time to working in her studio at Young's Cove Road at Grand Lake. In her paintings we sense her passion for the New Brunswick landscape.
