Shannon Dana is an acrylic artist from Birch Island, British Columbia. With her bold use of colour, Shannon seeks to depict the “Magic of Light” in her paintings.

“I paint the things that make me happy. In a world that can sometimes feel sad, or perhaps chaotic, we often seek things that bring us joy and peace. Thank goodness for sunshine; for the light! Where there is light, there is hope! Where there is hope, there is peace!”

Shannon is primarily a landscape painter and will often pack up her paints and head outdoors to paint “en plein air”. She has a passion for travel and adventure and loves to be out exploring the Canadian landscape with her husband, Stephen, and adult children, Cody and Jesse. She has ventured across Canada, from coast to coast to coast, and is grateful to have experienced the overwhelming beauty of the land she calls, “Home.” 

Originally self-taught in oils, Shannon has recently made the switch to acrylic paints and is expanding her knowledge of the medium as a student at Acrylic University. She is currently studying under the teachings of artists Jed Dorsey and Dianna Shyne as well as guest instructors, including Aimee Erickson, Brian Buckrell, and Randy Hayashi.

“The world is so full of light and love and beauty! In my lifetime, I cannot possibly capture it all onto canvas; but that certainly won’t keep me from trying!”
