cially in 2001 in Tucson, Arizona. The first Aesthetic Alternatives studio Dawn built out of hand-crafted adobe and cob with her artistic cohort DeeDee Wood. In 2001, Malosh also founded Outside Art, an arts-integrated discovery-based environmental education program which utilizes our local, national, private parks and zoos and other natural resources as an outdoor arts classroom. Dawn's integrative approach peaked the interest of the National Association for Environmental Education as well as Green Teacher magazine. Her methodologies, approach have been published in Green Teacher, The Children and Nature Network, the National Association for Environmental Education, Art Outside the Box(tm) Publications, Outschool, Teachertube and on one of the very first YouTube children's education channels. Over the years, the studio has evolved and diversified its ever-growing repertoire of arts and educational offerings to meet the times, geographical locations and needs of the community. The studio follows an "Arts for All" philosophy, catering to all artistic levels and age groups. Lessons include discovery, experiential and inquiry based approaches along with interdisciplinary, brain-based and leisurely styled lessons, depending on the age range, student needs and group dynamics. An established artist, Malosh is best known for her "World Famous Gargoyle Bells" and Spiritual Ceramics process. With the development of a trademarked ceremonial process for her one-of-a-kind Gargoyle Bells and ceremonial vessels, her work took on a greater meaning. The Spiritual Ceramics (tm) process, placed Malosh's Gargoyle Bells, Healing Vessels and her Spiritual Ceramics into world collectors
high craft, wholesale, on-e-of-a-kind and specialized eclectic markets. Malosh's bells have since touched most continents and remain a unique favorite for private bell collections and even in a few bell museums around the globe. Malosh's visual art, musical compositions, poetry and writings have been recognized in publications throughout the US and have spanned the globe in private collections and museums. Dawn is most well known for her original ceramic creations such as her World Famous Gargoyle Bells, but her more recent series of one-of-a-kind PotHedz(tm) and her Tubman Inspired Liberation Vessels are swiftly growing in specilaized collectors markets.
