Shannon Emmanuel
Shannon Emmanuel is a fine artist fascinated with imagination - believing it brings comfort, energy and inspiration to all ages. Influenced by a love of turn-of-the-century fairy tale illustration she creates ethereal narrative paintings of figures in natural or imaginary landscapes encouraging the viewer to connect with their inner stories and appreciate the wonder of the natural world.
The body of work prepared for the TOAF is inspired by having two of daughters grow up and leave home while two are still young, creating a whimsical, nature filled Wonderland that captures the various chapters of family life.
She works and lives in a historic farmhouse with her husband, children and pets outside Vancouver, BC. Her painting practice developed under the guidance of her artist father and personal experimentation for over 30 years.
Emmanuel mainly uses oil and acrylic in limited palettes on canvas. Her work is in private collections in Canada, US and Europe.
