  • Artist: Shannon Hansen

From the Artist's Statement:

"My sculptural concepts are conceived from mechanical, aerodynamic, industrial architecture and natural forms. Most sculptures start from sketches which are uploaded to CAD modeling software, altered and then fabricated. I work with carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Surface finishes include grinding, sanding, anodizing natural rust patinas and acrylic urethane painting.

My formal education, includes a Bachelor of Technology Degree, and Associate Degrees in Industrial Welding and Nondestructive Testing. I had the skills and knowledge to build sculpture before I developed a keen interest in art and sculpture. I have used my technical training to express myself and explore the sculptural possibilities that compel me to make these forms. I embrace the creative process – the act of making and seeing – and leave the meaning to the viewer."
