Dawn Papandrea-Sherrod Email & Phone Number

My name is Dawn Papandrea. Since I was a little girl, I always loved to create. I had a very active imagination and I was able to express it through drawing, painting, and even sewing. My favorite thing to do in school, instead of paying attention to my teachers, was to doodle away in my notebooks. I came home many times with notes from teachers stating that I had a hard time paying attention. It could have been due to my tendency towards being a bit ADD, but looking back, I know that I always had a dream to be an artist.After a few years of not taking life too seriously, I finally got my life together around age 21. I worked in a few different places, but always ended up doing something creative wherever I was. So in 2002, I decided to start my own decorative painting company called Surfaces with Paint.Within the past several years, I have created beautiful faux finishes and murals in over 100 homes and businesses in the New York area. I absolutely loved it! It was so rewarding to step back from my work at the end of the day and see the transformation that a little bit of paint can bring. I find so much peace when I pick up a brush or a sponge or a rag and dab that first bit of color onto a plain white wall. Hours later it becomes something magical, exciting and full of dimension and life.But after having 4 children and moving from New York to Florida 5 years ago, I needed to find something creative that I could do from my home office so that I could be there for my family more. That is how DPK Graphic Design was born. I have designed hundreds of logos and websites over the past 10 years. And my main source of marketing is through social media.I want to end by saying that, I give all the glory to God for giving me the talent that He did. If it wasn’t for Him, I don’t know where I would be.
