SHAN - Adventure Artist!

Making the ordinary, extraordinary!

I’m SHAN, an artist translating lived experiences through paint.
I’m a storyteller - my native language is art.
What you’ll find here is a contemporary art practice unfolding over time.

This channel is long-form art project. 

I’m currently immersed in a traveling studio project. I move through diverse regions of the US, slowly and intentionally transforming everyday objects, places, people, and experiences into reflective paintings - turning travel into a moving studio. 
The journey -- the lived experiences and adventures -- feed the artwork, and the artwork reflects the region.

My videos document the journey and the artwork side-by-side.

If you are looking for an honest artist - unconcerned about going viral - who is building a living record of artwork and a community of people who care – you’re in the right place!
You’re welcome here.
