About

Shannon M Welsh (b. 1995) lives and works in Cleveland, Ohio. A graduate of Kent State University with a BFA in painting and minors in art history and nonprofit studies, she primarily works in oils striving to explore grief, hunger and longing. She paints the natural world where our understanding of human emotions intertwines with our understanding of animal and plant.

She explores the ambiguity of our combined existences, the moment where the webs of our stories entangle, and we can no longer declare ourselves gods in the face of other lives and other deaths, through use of color and layering of paint, altering the state of both color and form underneath.

She has exhibited both nationally and locally in Akron and Cleveland. She has also been exhibited in various publications in Kent and Cleveland.
