Shannon Bonatakis

Biography

Shannon Bonatakis engages her viewers using highly stylized and emotionally charged portraiture. Inspired by human experiences both personal and interpersonal, she lovingly interprets these universal emotions through her subjects. Often autobiographical in some capacity, her paintings give us a candid window into the deep dark caverns of the artist's psyche. These narratives are often left open to interpretation, but emanate a deep personal significance to the creator which is not always clear, but always compelling.

Shannon currently resides in Denver, Colorado with her husband Josh and their part lab, part dachshund, part dragon puppy, Enid Coleslaw.
