Spending time over the past thirty years to develop his technique with the airbrush, he is very proficient in creating one-of-a-kind paintings that strike not only the eye, but also stir the imagination.
Shawn lives in Des Moines, Iowa Metro area and is currently an airbrush and illustration instructor at Des Moines Community College, Ankeny, Iowa. He has won many awards, in the several art categories, and has been part of several art groups, such as Art-A-Holics (No longer anonymous). Shawn has also curated his own artshows over fifty times."
