Regina Dunn is a Flint, Michigan based, self-taught, abstract artist. Regina had a late start in her artist journey, although for many years she has shown a creative edge. Regina says even as a child she had special interests in drawing and sketching, she loved to doodle, and play around with various shapes and colors using a variety of types of pencils, papers, glues, etc. Regina loved art class throughout grade school, in junior high and high school she took a liking to drafting, graphic arts and photography that is where she learned to draw floor plans, furniture, buildings and textile designs. She knew that moment she was to become an artist!

Simple life plan right. Wrong!

Regina had always been creative and crafty, which explains why her life and interest took another turn while in 9th grade. Regina began doing hair, and like art, she had a natural gifting for it.
For the next three decades, Regina dove into a Cosmetology career. Her creativity served her well in choosing this career path, as she also became a Master Educator of Cosmetology and has taught and mentored many other stylist and diverse groups of students both adult and youth.

Regina never stopped creating in many other ways. Yet somehow, her love for arts and craft took a backseat, but still deeply embedded into her inner passions.

In 2001, now married with three children, Regina decided to close her hair salon and become a stay at home mom for a little while. In her now freed up time, Regina began asking God to reveal every gift that he has placed on the inside of her. One of the first things God showed her and reminded her of, was her gift to create and a desire to make art. Wasting no time Regina went out, purchased paints, canvases and paintbrushes, and went to work. She would make a few pieces and sell a few pieces here and there, off and on and stopped for years as life, marriage and parenting became demanding. However, in 2016 Regina began painting again. Twenty-one years after God initially showed her the gift she finally gets it...

She really is an artist!
