Shawn’s art reflects the passage of time as an emotional experience revealed in fleeting moments and history's subtle markings. His uniquely dramatic compositions come together in striking arrangements of raw elements and moods that blur boundaries and explore deeper connections.
Shawn’s photographs, poetry and related merchandise have sold at local exhibitions in the Kansas City area and online from Australia to Italy. His work has been featured at Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District, the Westport Entertainment District, and local corporate venues including Cerner, the Cordish Company, McCownGordon and the Wise Gallery at VML. He co-created, wrote and contributed photography to the commemorative vignette series Lewis & Clark: 200 Years of Heartland Heritage for broadcast television in Kansas City and his short stories have appeared in the literary journals Pearl and The Distillery: Artistic Spirits of the South.
