Artist Feature - Shane

Our second artist feature is on Shane, who creates unique paintings. Check out what he had to share...

Describe your art/craft:  
I would describe our art
as bright and colorful,
with intentions to
make you smile.

What makes you passionate about your
art/craft?  Watching the reaction of people
as they look at the canvas, you start to see them turn their
heads and look at all the different characters.  Sometimes
you will hear a 'this reminds me of so and so' I love the 
smiles people make.

How long have you been creating this art/craft? I have 
had this style since middle school...  It's always
been just for fun, 'till a couple of years ago I
submitted a design to the 'Diggin Dino's' promotion...
and my wife Kelly and I got chosen to do complete the statue 
and it turned out awesome. ...it was very exciting when we
got the extremely positive feedback.

Where do you find your inspiration? I am inspired by my kids. 
Especially my 3 1/2 year old son Dylan.  He is always pointing
out different things with our paintings. It's fun to know he
enjoys them.  I feel my paintings stimulate his mind because
they are so colorful, and the characters fit together like a
puzzle. Our 9 month old daughter Kiera even stares at the
paintings.  Soon enough she will pointing things out to us.

Thanks Shane!  Don't miss his work at SummerFest on August 9th!
