Meet the Dawn Behind First Light Calligraphy

Owner & Artist

Dawn McMaster

Dawn’s story is like so many other military spouses. After dutifully following their spouse throughout the world––oftentimes sacrificing their own careers and raising children while their service member is working unpredictable schedules and deploying to various locations––many spouses find themselves lacking their own sense of identity separate from the military culture, their role as parent, and without a steadfast occupation. After a return from an overseas duty location, Dawn was on a quest to figure out who she was and uncover her individual identity. In 2016, the world of calligraphy and hand-lettering was just starting to go viral and Dawn discovered she had a unique talent in this creative niche. Not only that but, it allowed her to have something that was solely hers for the first time in her adult life.

 

"As a gym owner of 10 years, one of the greatest additions I've made to our facility has been chalkboards from First Light. It has always been a struggle to get information in front of all of our members that come through the door every day. Whether that be pricing, personal training info, nutrition or events. I can honestly say these have made a huge impact on my business (even more than social media!). Dawn listened to what information was necessary for each board and even helped with placement within our facility. She took information and turned it into art, with colors that pop and draw attention to the info I need to put in front of my members."
