Recipes

Eat with your eyes. Feed your Soul.

It might seem a little random to have recipes in this website but the truth is, cooking is an art form. And FYI, I do NOT mean baking. That requires strict measuring with no room for creativity or as my kids like to say, “a beautiful oops.”

When my babies were little and I had little time for art, cooking was my main creative outlet. So was blogging about cooking, and learning to style and photograph the food I made. Something to keep my brain ticking along during the monotonous days of baby nurturing.

Today I’m bored with being forced to cook ‘non-spicy’ meals every night that cater to the same tastebuds of all four people in my house but I certainly poured a lot of heart, soul and creativity into these recipes so I’m keeping them here in my creative hub.

Food is love. Food is tactile, delectable, and connects human beings, much like art and story. So maybe these pages still exist because that’s what I think I’m designed to do.

Either way, thanks for being here.

Sexy, Slow-Cooker, Soy Chicken With Asian SlawBy DawnEver wonder what to do with your Broccolli Stems? This slaw helps them not go to waste. I was feelin' it while this chicken was in the slow-cooker! The smells wafting out of there were downright sassy. I could not WAIT for dinner.

Art That Refuses to Shrink

Dawn Noelle is a Melbourne-based artist creating bold, expressive mixed media art, oil paintings, textile works, and contemporary portraits that celebrate individuality, colour, and unapologetic self-expression. Inspired by feminism, identity, and the beauty of taking up space, every artwork is created to be felt—not to quietly blend into the background.

Looking for an original artwork to transform your home, a meaningful gift, or a statement piece that reflects who you are? Browse this collection of original paintings and fine art prints in Dawn’s online store. Every piece is created in Melbourne and shipped safely to collectors across Australia and worldwide.

Lusting for something created just for you? Dawn also accepts a limited number of art commissions throughout the year. Whether it's a portrait, a large-scale mixed media painting, or a deeply personal piece for your home or business, every commission begins with your story. Simply complete the commission enquiry form, and co-create something that couldn't belong to anyone else.

Alongside original artworks, Dawn regularly exhibits her work through Melbourne exhibitions, galleries, art fairs, and selected group shows. Follow along for upcoming exhibitions, new collections, behind-the-scenes studio updates, and works in progress.

You were never meant to blend in. Your walls shouldn't either.

Browse original art, discover museum-quality fine art prints, enquire about commissions, or simply find the piece that reminds you who the fuck you are.

I acknowldge the traditional owners of the lands where I work, dream and create, the Wurundjeri people. With Love, Dawn.
