About the Tutor
Sheree Dohnt (b. 1990), is an emerging artist residing in Dalyellup, Western Australia. Originally from Wollongong New South Wales, Dohnt graduated from the University of Wollongong with a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Arts). Through painting and drawing, predominantly in watercolour, the artist explores themes of identity and parenthood. Dohnt explores the possibilities of portraiture with a process driven art practice, and as a negotiation between artist, subject, medium and viewer.
In 2023, Dohnt has been a finalist in national and statewide Art prizes, such as the City of Rockingham Art Prize, The Collie Art Prize, and the Harvey Art Prize, where her artwork ‘The Empty Nest won ‘Best Themed Piece’.
Dohnt is a member of the Watercolour Society of Western Australia as well as the organizer of a monthly art event, Bunbury Portrait Club.
