Shawn is an award winning wildlife and fantasy illustrator creating detailed depictions of animals melded with plants and fungi in symbiotic relationships. Her illustrations highlight endangered species and posing plants and fungi with primarily predatory animals in symbiotic relationships alluding to natural cycles of decomposition, regrowth and renewal in the natural world as a way to process imbalances in human politics. Her ongoing Chinese Zodiac series has also expanded into enamel pins, hardcover journals, and apparel.
Shawn has worked with independent board game creators, authors, food/beverage packaging, and private art collectors. She offers her personal work for sale online and at comic and anime conventions across the US where she enjoys connecting with fans, collectors, and clients in person.
