My name is Shannon Bauer. I was born in Michigan and now live right outside of Cincinnati, OH. I've always had an interest in art and loved to draw and paint as a child, but I took my first formal painting class when I was in college as an art major with a graphic design concentration. I've kept at it ever since. It seems to be the most effective way for me to clear my thoughts. (And now I just can't seem to stop...) Thanks for stopping by!

A Beach Day
8x10 acrylic on canvas panel
I threw my last seascape attempt away and thought I'd give it another shot today. In everything I paint I try to keep loose brushstrokes while still capturing the likeness of the subject. That seems extra tricky for me when it comes to water. Well actually, who am I kidding... it's tricky for me with any new subject... But I'm going to keep trying!

Blustery Grove
12x12 acrylic on canvas panel
I painted over this one several times. It's hard for me to keep loose on bigger canvases. It seems more intimidating... Sometimes a little frustration is good though, because that's when I can let go of any attachment to what I've done. The outcome is usually better than what I was trying to preserve in the beginning.
