As both an artist and a business person, Dawn Dalto founded Artist Wrangler in 2007. Having worked with fellow artists for several years, Dawn recognized that many do not possess the skills and most lack the time to run their art careers as an effective business. Seeing this need, she formed Artist Wrangler.

Dawn has held management positions with a variety of businesses since 1986. In addition to serving as Assistant Director for Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts, she owned and operated her own bead business including a store, trade shows and pattern/book design and distribution. As Vice-President of a commercial photography studio, she directed day-to-day operations and has also managed high-volume ladies and children's retail establishments.

Currently Dawn serves on the Board for the River District Arts Association, continues to manage an online bead business, and is a practicing artist. Her goal with Artist Wrangler is to provide artists a wide range of professional support services, allowing them more time to focus on their creative work.
