Current owner of Hive Coffee Shop

Dawn is a Blackpool born photographer with a background in theatre and dance. She is internationally published and exhibited, notably in Germany, Novia Scotia, Italy, Russia, USA and Australia.
Dawn has been both nominated and exhibited for the Royal Photographic Society (RPS), as well as being shortlisted for Rankin 2020, where one of her photographs was used as one of the opening images for the SkyArts programme. Most recently, two of Dawn's images were purchased by The Grundy Art Gallery to be part of their permanent collection.
Dawn currently co-curates a continual change of exhibitions at HIVE Blackpool, where she strives to support and engage with local artists to enable them to show their arts and host opening events they may otherwise struggle to access.

Although having been involved in photography for only 6 years, Kate has in that short time exhibited extensively. In addition to 3 solo shows in her home town of Blackpool, Kate has also had the distinction of being both subject and contributing artist to the RPS Exhibition 'Representation on the Line' at Chelsea, Blackpool and Doncaster.
A published photographer in a number of newspapers, magazines and books, Kate currently co-curates exhibitions with HIVEArts, supporting artists and creatives from the local community.
