Shannon Martinuzzi

BIOGRAPHY
Shannon Martinuzzi formerly known as Shannon Neumann, has lived, studied and traveled in a wide range of places through out the US, Europe, Latin America, New Zealand and the Caribbean. Her desire to learn about other countries and cultures has highly influenced her art. While earning her bachelor’s degree in fine art, Shannon studied under distinguished artists namely Karl Umlauf and Barry Klingman at Baylor University in Waco Texas. Following her formal studies, she interned in art restoration and faux painting under world renowned Italian artist, Dr. Antonio Loro from Venice, Italy. In the following years, she further expanded into operating her own faux finish business in Aspen, CO. There, she catered to high-end residential and commercial clients leaving a permanent path of mural artwork (including the Red Brick art center) and countless wall finishes in homes and restaurants.

As her Aspen clients learned of her artwork, they became patrons and collectors supporting the main drive of Shannon’s passion.

Because of her applied knowledge and wide variety of materials used in art restoration acquired under Dr. Loro, Shannon was able to experiment and invent completely new art techniques.
