Biography
As a contemporary landscape painter, my work is a conscious play of mood, light and color, but as a naturalist raised and rooted in the diverse landscapes of western America, a painting means more than a location to me. Each place is an encounter with the land, the trees, and the waters which have always given me a sense of connection and order. When a location intrigues and inspires me, I paint the scene into a series using a range of keys or themes, experimenting and searching to learn more about the natural threads that tie the landscape together with complexity, subtlety and - more importantly - balance. I look for new ways to express relationships and depth with layers of paint, brushwork, gradations, and diffusions of light. My intention is to bring the viewer closer to an honest translation - of both soul and land.
Shanna was raised with a strong connection to the land and a deep sense of place. Her upbringing in the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah, as well as her experiences exploring the mountain ranges and deserts of the West, have heavily influenced her work. Art, music, and family have been constant sources of inspiration for Shanna and have helped shape her unique voice as a painter.
In her work, Shanna seeks to capture intimate imagery that resonates emotionally with her viewers, rather than depicting specific locations. Her paintings are characterized by their complexity, moodiness, and honesty, and are often described as transcendental by those who view them.
Shanna firmly believes that the world, in its current state of turbulence, desperately needs beauty in the form of art, love in the form of relationships, and spiritual uplift through personal connections. She feels that her simple and quiet landscapes serve this need for both herself and her collectors.
