Dawn Maciocia is a self-taught Scottish artist. While studying as a mature student for a HNC in Art and Design she began to experiment with acrylics, inks and collage. Dawn quickly found that working with mixed media like collage was perfect for her as she has always liked working with her hands. Her work often features British wildlife with beautiful idyllic countryside sceneries acting as a backdrop. What we at iapetus love about her artwork as there is always a new detail to discover and they’re pieces you’re bound to cherish for years!
Dawn's stunning collages have been translated into a gorgeous range of British made products, including prints, coasters and placemats, cushions, lampshades and greetings cards. Read on to see more about her incredible work...
Dawn’s beautiful lampshades were some of the first pieces we carried from her here at iapetus. They became an instant favourite and since then the collection has expanded with new designs and new sizes!
From left to right: Golden fantails lampshade, selection of pendant shades, and Honesty hare lampshade.
They truly come alive when they are lit, but the shades look just as beautiful in the day. Available in sizes from 20cm diameter, there’s truly something to suit every room in your home! Click here to see Dawn’s shades on our website (prices start at £49.99).
As pictured above with Dawn’s lovely lampshades, her cushions are another way to bring nature into your home. Her designs are digitally printed onto wonderfully soft vegan faux-suede, meaning they’re the perfect companion to a sofa or bed.
