Shannon Leigh

I consider myself a hybrid painter. My work reflects the multifaceted Americana landscape through the intersection of culture and history. I stylistically paint in smooth, even textures, taking a linear and figurative approach to perspective. Inspired by the beauty and symbolic thread of connection within the shards of classical stained glass, I mend stories at the seams in bold lines that unite fragments of an imaginary narrative. Often, I choose to paint bodies faceless; questioning and opening up the possibilities of identity. Architecturally, passages are binary, purposefully leaving the viewer to question. Finding elements in the many places I have lived in the Northwest, Southwest and South, I identify and find harmony in my experiences as I explore human connections in an ever changing landscape of a modern timeline.
