Upcoming Exhibition: “A Sight To Sea” by Shawna Hunter opens First Thursday, March 7

I would say my art is close to “Fauvism” style; vivid colors and simplified subjects. I paint on canvas, material, metal, and wood wood with acrylics. This show, I do have some sea glass with epoxy pieces. I have a wide range of subjects I like to paint, but ocean animals are my favorite. While making no attempt to illustrate actual sea life in my painting, I want my creations to look alive. Living with beautiful works of art, reminds us to slow down and reconnect with nature, even if it’s just for a moment.
