Ten Thousand Square Inches of Canvas: Abstract

About Me

Arena Shawn: San Francisco, California, United States; Leaving my first job after graduate school as a science major, I am taking that scary big leap toward my dream as a self-supporting, full-time artist. This blog will record my journey trying to use brush and paints to reflect the quiet lights, subtle colors and playful shapes exhibited by seemingly mundane, everyday objects. Striving for the emotional quality of every piece I create, I hope they would be able to reach out and connect with their viewers, evoking the sense of wonder and awe of our everyday life that are so often taken as granted. Every painting shown here is created with archival art material that will last the ages.
