About Shannon Carleen Knight

Shannon Carleen Knight is a visual artist, educator, and dancer/choreographer. She began painting while studying darkroom photography in the San Francisco Bay Area over twenty years ago. She experimented by layering paint over her black and white photographs that she printed. This method evolved into Shannon's signature style of densely layered mixed media paintings. She predominantly works in acrylic, but almost all of her original works are mixed media collage paintings that include photographs, paper, ink, gouache, wax, colored pencil, alcohol ink, spray paint, oil, and more. Shannon earned her Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of Oregon. She is also a certified Somatic Movement Educator, and a certified welder. She resides in Oregon, USA where she works as a full time artist and studies Flamenco Dance. All images contained in Shannon Carleen Knight's profile are original, mixed media paintings made by the artist herself. All rights reserved.
