Pain and Process w/ Don Dixon Healing Mentalit - Tea
-
- Mental Health
In this episode of Healing Mentalit-Tea I interview my brother and artist Don Dixon. In addition he is the author of two children's books "Dandelion" and "Darwin the Dreamer" both books offer opportunities for processing pain and healing. Don at the age of 15, received a full scholarship to the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. It was here that he began to really take his art seriously and dive into learning more about fine art.
After majoring in Visual Arts at Interlochen Arts Academy in 1996, Don went on to Savannah College of Art and Design, completing his education at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, and graduating with a BFA in Animation and Digital Media.
Don’s first job was at WMS Gaming in Chicago doing animation in both 2D and 3D. From there, he moved to Texas to work at Green Grass Studios, then on to Florida to work at Ignition Entertainment doing video game animation, followed by a stint in Hawaii working on the hit TV Show Veggie Tales.
Currently, Don works in Dallas, Texas, at Reel FX working on feature films such as, The Book of Life, Free Birds, Rock Dog, Sherlock Gnomes and most recently Scoob.
Recently he has begun an art collection entitled Pain and Process. This collection was an outcome of the pain he was experiencing given what is occurring in society, particularly after the death of George Floyd. His work is amazing, people are saying this collection is a depiction of the words they could not find to describe what they were feeling.
