Sidoli paints in oils. Dawn paints landscape, still life, portrait and marine paintings. Much of the inspiration for Sidoli paintings is gained from journeys around the British Isles, although more recently she has undertaken a series of paintings featuring Irish Landscapes.

Dawn Sidoli paintings are undertaken in a very delicate, but painterly style. Broad confident brush strokes are a feature of her art. L S Lowry has been an influence on Dawn Sidoli paintings – and she has chosen to limit herself to the same five colours so loved by Lowry. As a result her paintings are instant recognizable with a subdued and muted colour range which is so admired by fellow British artists.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Dawn Sidoli has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Dawn Sidoli artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
