Dawn-Robin is a beautiful broken offering. She has lived a life of shifting through shelters and streets. Her dad left when she was a young girl, her mom died soon thereafter, and she has suffered awful abuse. Almost inevitably, the pain of these losses drove her into a foggy darkness where she tried to find healing through substances and unanchored love. Her knowledge of the Scriptures is continually bringing her back to solid ground and her songwriting gives life to her soul. She has always felt there are parallels between her life and that of Mary Magdalene; she sees herself as one prostrate at the feet of Christ, repentant of her past, but looking up while pouring out a beautiful offering to him. After her portrait She left Skid Row and found an apartment in a much better area with her dog sparkle, her portrait proudly mounted on her wall.
