Shawna was born and raised in Fort St. John , BC , then relocated to Grande Prairie , AB , at 19, where she still resides today with her family. Having been surrounded by artists and musicians all her life, it was only natural that Shawna would adopt her family's creative tendencies and take up art herself.
What started out as simple doodles on scrap paper, has since evolved into a love for graphite sketches of animals and people. Shawna enjoys the way the details and depth of a sketch can resonate in the stark contrast of dark strokes on white backing. While she also dabbles in acrylics and clay, graphite is definitely her medium of choice.
