She likes to catch the interplay of light and colour, which nature best illustrates on lazy summer days. She wants her audience to feel a sense of fun and idealism. “I believe my art exists like a holiday in a calendar, something your looking forward to, a place where you can unwind to escape the noise life and celebrate the little joys. as a matter of fact, to help you stop thinking all together and enjoy the view.”

Shaunna creates work that celebrates her love of colour. in the hope that it evokes positive emotions in her audienne. It is important for Shaunna to maintain a light-hearted energy, showcasing ordinary objects that we are all familiar with and glamourizing them, encouraging her audience to find the beauty in things you would normally pass by. She likes to encourage a healthy dose of escapism, which she feels is vital for maintaining positive mental health. Drawing inspiration from vivacious colour stories, mythology, fashion, and holiday culture and combining these with her intuition, she is able to articulate a sense of “joi de vivre," a mood-lifting feeling that unlocks a natural state of mindfulness and contemplation, an integral part of maintaining our mental wellbeing.
