Sean U Dawson,
Mixed Media Artist

Sean "Bucho" Dawson, a proud native Oregonian, was brought up in the challenging landscape of NE Portland during the tumultuous 1990s. In those formative years, guns, drugs, and violence loomed large, shaping his teenage experience. For Sean, prison seemed an unavoidable destination, a consequence of his choices.

During his initial days behind bars, Sean found solace in art, expressing his reality through drawings. One creation, "Boocho's Gun Room," served as the seed for his future endeavor:

ARTillary LLC. Unlike many former inmates who face the permanent loss of their right to bear arms, Sean's vision with ARTillary transcends violence. Instead, it celebrates the artistry inherent in weaponry, offering a unique perspective on artillery that goes beyond its destructive potential.
