Artist: Shannon Tallcouch
She began her artistic journey at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA as a way to escape a conventional life that would have awaited her in her hometown of Stamford, Connecticut. Under the guidance of master painters, she was able to flourish as an artist and hone in on her own discipline, mastering the many intricacies of oil based painting. Her works come as a channel for self expression; each piece representing a part of her journey that at times had been challenging.
Her approach on realism does not just capture the moment, but evokes strong emotion within the viewer.Her technique focuses on strategically incorporating vibrant colors and overly blending brush strokes in order to bring the canvas to life. What you will find is that the painting reflects true realism with distinct attention to detail.
She graduated from The Academy in 2015 with a concentration in Fine Art. She has since been acknowledged for her works having won 1st Place Figurative Painting in Academy of Arts Spring Show 2015 and 3rd Place in the “Expressions” show of Marin Society of Artists 2019. Her works have also been featured nationally across a number of group shows.
