About Dawn
Dawn Witherington specializes in graphic design and scientific illustration. Her strengths
include biological training and an ability to coordinate with experts to achieve accurate
artistic depictions of species, life histories, and ecological relationships. Dawn was trained
as a graphic design artist at the Art Institutes of Colorado and Ft. Lauderdale, and she
received training in the biological sciences from the University of Central Florida. During
a 32-year career as a professional artist, Dawn worked as art director for a number of
advertising agencies before establishing her own freelance business. Dawn’s art and
design are prominent in natural history books, posters, exhibits, and a line of sea-themed
greeting cards. She has an extensive portfolio of scientific illustration and is co-author of
four books, Florida’s Living Beaches, Florida’s Seashells, Living Beaches of Georgia
