Today’s ‘member in the spotlight’ is Canadian artist Shannon Pawliw:
Pawliw undertakes exploratory series with the explicit intent of creating fantasy-based objects built around ideas, practices, and concepts that fascinate her. These ideas and concepts are as diverse as time, memory, artistic labour and the microbial world. At its root, all of the work shares a tendency to observe, romanticize, and fantasize about different aspects of our shared humanity and experience.
Aaaand, speaking of “shared experience”, Shannon also happens to be the Artistic Director and Founder of THIS___ Gallery in Vancouver, a lovely space “where artists and curators gather to engage with the community through exhibitions and events.” LOVE IT! You can find Shannon on Instagram at @shannonpawliw.
This just in … Create! Magazine has a new CALL FOR ART! It’s for their International Print Issue #47 Juried by Tanner Steslow and Max Berman of The TAX Collection. The deadline to apply is JUNE 15th.

It’s my friend Shannon! I love the colour, vibrancy and textures in her work.
Very interesting ! I have ( ? ) rediscovered digital graphics of late SO I'm really hoping to get inspired by an artist such as Ms. Pawliw.
