About the Artist
Third generation Oregonian Shanna Trumbly began her life as an artist at a very young age. She was born into a family of very creative individuals who always encouraged her passion for art.
At the age of seventeen she began her studies at the Art Institute of Seattle where she studied the many aspects of graphic design, anatomy, illustration, and life drawing. Upon graduation at the age of nineteen she moved to Portland, Oregon where she soon became a member of the Portland Saturday Market and began her career as an artist. Over the years she employed many different mediums and styles for her artwork such as clay sculpture, glass torch work, mosaics, leather sculpture, and more recently a clothing line.
Until October of 2007 Shanna’s choice medium for her illustrations was colored pencil. Upon completion of her first painting, “the Unforgettable Kiss” she realized her new found love for acrylic paint on canvas.
The series “Daydream” explores the playfulness of wakeful dreaming and honoring the creative muses within. Her works can be found online, at a variety of shows on the west coast, a number of galleries and boutiques, and at the Eugene Holiday Market.
