Shawndell Oliver (Kunst)

*****
Shawndell Oliver is a native of Colorado, an artist that draws inspiration from extensive travel, her cowgirl lifestyle and love of animals. At a glance, the viewer can experience the roots of the classic west in a modern day world. Merging the mastery of oils, acrylics, light, shadows and texture, with passion, one can embrace the emotional power of each painting. Each canvas tells a tale of nature and the disappearing culture of the western heritage.

Oliver’s selection of color sets the tone of each canvas, utilizing a wide range of hues she creates multiple layers on canvas. This helps execute texture and depth while at the same time staying fresh and contemporary. The artists clear
understanding of negative space and placement of each subject captures movement and balance, evoking a feeling of freedom, strength and action. Control with the brush and application of glaze creates an illusion of warm winds, cool nights and wet landscapes.

“There is something powerful in the spirit of a horse that drives my creative vision”. She says the peacefulness that comes as she rides her horse is the biggest part of her inspiration. Shawndell’s collectors have come to appreciate that every painting is unique and expresses her own true nature.
