Dawn Holler Wisher

Dawn lends her diverse marketing and artistic skills, honed by a career in design and advertising, to espouse the handcrafted beauties and benefits of Sawbridge Studios. You’ll often find her photographing in the store, helping customers with color choices and gift ideas, or sharing the unique stories of our artisans and their work. Dawn views her camera as her lifelong friend and we’re happy to represent her fine art photography, too. Dawn loves a good laugh and thinks meeting all our customers is a “tweet”.

Her beautiful design solutions have earned her a reputation among friends and customers as the “go-to” source for advice on anything artistic – from room design to tablescape ideas. Cathy always knows what’s trending and also what is timeless. When not helping others, Cathy finds joy creating with paint on canvas.
