Ms. Dickson-Van Ness is a resident of Blackstone, Virginia and active in her local library.

The Prince George Library (Appomattox Regional Library System) is hosting the art  exhibit Journey of the Red  Scarves,”  featuring art and prose by Dawn Dickson-Van Ness of Blackstone, VA, through  the month of May. Ms. Dickson-Van Ness describes her exhibit as both a gallery of paintings and a pictorial novel, with each painting a part of a “journey through dreamscapes.”

‘This exhibit shows the evolution of this unusual literary project from visual art to prose. It features paintings and related objects that illustrate the journey of her main character Sova,. Sova disappears, leaving behind only these objects in the exhibit. The exhibit will culminate in a forthcoming novella.
