Dunn is drawn to the ambiguous nature of abstraction. There is a freedom to painting organically and letting the subject matter present itself to the artist through mark-making. Dunn views art as a conversation and the works on view as a physical manifestation of seeking a connection — a connection to the natural world, the technological world and to each other.

My mother taught me how to observe objects and draw them – particularly pictures from books she read to my brothers and I. My first art memory was in first grade, a mouse and clock from the poem “Hickory Dickory Dock”. From other efforts in grade school, I drew a Navajo Indian boy watching his flock of sheep. It was submitted to a statewide art show – I never saw it again – I never forgot that memory or the artwork. From both memories I still feel creating art is a ‘personal investment/investigation’. The time, learning, use of media and creativity are the babies I’ve given birth too.
