Shaun Herron

To date I primarily exhibit impressionist landscape paintings in galleries in Amsterdam, while dabbling in many other creative pursuits.
Diversity in my work includes a surrealistic esoteric approach and looser impressionist and abstract oil paintings complimented by more hand-drawn book projects and shared inspiration illustration and decor art collaborations. Another collaboration was a T-shirt label carrying my own designs named Mental Peace that enjoyed 20 years of festival tours around Europe and international success within it’s target group [1995 to 2015].
In recent years I have also been focused on surreal pencil figure drawings, nudes and greek mythogical paintings, while continuing with chosen and commisioned landscapes. Much of my time over the last twelve years has been spent working on illustrated books. Some have yet to reach final production.

An adventurous (well travelled and rich in experience) sort who believes I can take on any creative project. If it does not come easily then I will strive to learn it.
I work on a number of art projects at any one time and am always eager to take on commissioned work.
