Deborah Starr Shannon

The use of simple shapes and saturated color are now the primary elements Deborah Shannon exploits to express her feelings in her paintings, which are frequently enriched by a layering process. Often she strives to achieve a sense of abstraction without becoming nonrepresentational, a challenge the artist finds intriguing. She works now in numerous mediums including watercolor, acrylic, oil, collage and photography on both paper and canvas.

Deborah Shannon’s work has won her numerous prestigious awards as well as signature membership in: the Southwestern Watercolor Society, the Texas Watercolor Society, and in Associated Creative Artists. Recently she was invited to exhibit in a show in Milan Italy.

The inspiration for her recent paintings comes from her trips to Europe and the Far East and from her native New England.
