Tawana “Ms. Tawana” Dixon, a Miami-based multidisciplinary artist originally from Brooklyn, NY, with roots in Panama and the Caribbean, explores art's transformative power to uplift individuals and communities.

 

Inspired to draw at four years old, Tawana perfected her mother’s doodles of a woman's profile, infusing them with vibrant colors that have become her signature style in her paintings. Since showcasing in group exhibitions in New York City in 2012, she actively exhibits her work and curates events that celebrate artistic expression.

 

With an AS in Graphic Design, Tawana intertwines her design skills with her artistic practice, creating impactful visual  narratives.  As freelance graphic designer, she designs logos and captivating marketing graphics for government funded nonprofit-fit organizations and for a diverse array of clients.
 

Motivated by limited access to artistic resources in her community, Tawana founded The ArtBeat in 2023. This annual cultural arts event highlights artists from underserved backgrounds, striving to elevate art culture and inspire creative expression. Driven by her belief that art is essential for community growth, Tawana continues to explore the connection between creativity and environment, empowering others to reflect their narratives through art.
