Shannon Carleen Knight

My paintings always include bold and saturated colors, dense surface textures, complex layers and usually high gloss finishes. I love painting abstract, portraits and especially animals. I am available for customized commissions.
I have been painting for 28 years, earned my BA in Dance, worked as a welder and photographer. Visual art is my first passion. l love painting with acrylic and mixed media, often incorporating my own photography into my paintings.
