Shauna Shane



Shauna has been painting professionally for 25 years. A former Resident Artist at Yellowstone National Park, her paintings can be found in numerous collections and several countries around the world. In addition to workshops and master classes from artists such as Robert Bateman, Charles Reed, Clyde Aspevig and Raymond Everett Kinstler, her educational background includes Lyme Academy of Fine Art, University of Connecticut, Banff School of Fine Art in Alberta, Canada, and Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.

Shauna has exhibited in international competitions around the country, including the Knickerbocker Exhibit, Oil Painters of America, the Salmagundi Exhibit in New York City. Shauna is an experienced teacher with 25 years of teaching students the pleasure of seeing and understanding the artistic concepts that open like windows when they begin with a strong foundation. In addition, Shauna has given more than 50 demonstrations to Connecticut and Massachusetts Art Guilds as well as to public school art classes and she is represented in galleries in Connecticut, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Montana.

Working in a variety of mediums including watercolor and oil, Shauna's work is saturated with light and color informed by many years of painting from life. Her paintings of the landscape, still life and the figure reflect a solid academic training as well as the ability to communicate not only the energy and the unique atmosphere of a scene, but also that subtle emotional connection between the subject and viewer.

Shauna has come to that place in her career where the communication and expression found in a well-placed brush stroke is not only what she does, but reflects who she is. Her goal, deceptively simple, is to share her love for the poetry of paint, and her appreciation and delight in the natural world and its people.
