Shawna Nolan
Artist Statement
Hello, my name is Shawna. Although I spent most of my school years doodling in class, I didn’t truly enjoy art as a hobby until I began my recovery journey in 2018. I attended Open Studio at The Recovery Institute as a member where I was provided with access to a large variety of art supplies and a safe place to use them free of charge. It was the first thing I began painting canvases for my young daughter for gifts because I couldn’t afford a lot back then. Painting pictures for gifts eventually blossomed into a multitude of mediums including crafting and soap making.
