SHANNON WYLIE
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been born, and still live, in Vernon BC. My education in fine arts and graphic design served me well in my 30 year career in the promotional products industry, many years of which included graphic design and screen printing.
Returning to my fine arts roots, I recently discovered soft pastels, which I am combining with my passion for animals and the outdoors to create custom pet/human portraits and landscape
paintings. My works are a blend of lifelike detail with painterly strokes of color and texture. Each painting is built with multiple layers of color as I strive to capture the essence of each subject.
I start each painting with excitement and a sense of adventure. Painting makes me feel alive,
similar to being in nature. It is also about time. What I create today preserves a moment and will become a visual memory. How do our memories affect what we see and paint today?
