Featured Artist | The Vibrant Wildlife Paintings of Shawndell Oliver

"WISE HUNTER" BY SHAWNDELL OLIVER

The bold, impressionistic work of Shawndell Oliver is striking in it's vibrancy. Her paintings are imbued with the power and wildness of the animals she depicts in them, and her love for nature is evident in the passionate portrayal's of the creatures that call her native state of Denver home. 

From wild stallions silhouetted against a vibrant, turquoise sky to hulking bears plunging through wild sprays of water in pursuit of a trout; her work can be peaceful or full of surging energy. The calm, bovine gaze of a buffalo peers out from one canvas, on a scale large enough that you feel you are right up alongside the animal, it's great hide steaming in the chill air. 

Her talent is undeniable and she attributes much of her creative spark to her deep connection to the natural world and the horses she grew up riding.
