Pet Portraits on view @ Beacon Falls Library

View Pet Portraits in Pencils, Charcoals & Oil Paintings by Middlebury Portrait Artist, ShawnaLee, from May through June 2015.

ShawnaLee started creating portraits in order to capture the special expressive moments that often elude photography.
Many of her current works include Charcoals on toned art paper, rich oil paintings, or a blend of Graphite with an occasional hint of colored pencils.
ShawnaLee helps support animal shelters such as the Danbury Animal Welfare Society and Draft Horse Rescue in addition to supporting Hidden Acres therapeutic riding center etc..
ShawnaLee works from photographs and prefers to use as many photo references as possible, as each picture will have information that aids the portrait. Great photographs show clear eye & fur detail.
Although not always feasible, It is a special delight to be able to meet the subject, and the best portraits combine live sittings with photographic references.
As a young child, ShawnaLee’s art was recognized and published for her portraits. She graduated Cum Laude in Illustration & Printmaking from Western Connecticut State University, and currently resides in Middlebury with her family.
ShawnaLee is an active member of the Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists and will be showing at the Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum during May and June 2015.

ShawnaLee teaches art lessons to dedicated young artists.
