Shawna Purnell
Artist
Art is the outward representation of the inner voice. My work is the representation of the magnificent
world around us. I have always been mesmerized by the beauty of nature and how I can convey that
beauty in my art. I have found solace from stress by creating each piece with an air of peace and
calmness. Each piece carries my emotions, heart, and love for everything around me and the amazing
places I have been. There is so much chaos in the world today, so I create my pieces as a means of
redirecting my thoughts to a more beautiful place. I also capture nature’s beauty from a camera lens.
The images are used as the inspiration for my art pieces. I have to be creative everyday to stay true to
who I am. I challenge my skills everyday by attending art courses, sketching, and painting both digitally
and traditionally. When you look at my work, it is my intention that you feel the same inner peace and
calmness as I did creating it. If the pieces bring great memories to mind and enhance your life in some
way, I have accomplished what I have set out to do. Love and peace to all. Enjoy.

“I started creating art at a very young age. Art has always been my refuge in the storms of life. I create pieces that instill calmness, serenity, peace, happiness, and nostalgia in me. It is my hope that my art also does that for you. —Enjoy”
