Bio:

Multi Media Artist Shannon Kringen grew up in San Diego California and Whidbey Island Washington. She is a self taught photographer with a background in Graphic Design. She has worked as a figure model in Seattle since 1992. She completed her BA degree in Arts and Literature from Antioch University in 2013. She sees her creative expression as a tool to connect with community and a way of increasing self awareness and tap into a deeper wisdom within.

Artist Statement:

I work with cameras and paint improvisationally. I am very kinesthetic and use my whole body when I create.

In my photography, I fall in love with shape, texture, and light while out wandering. I like to capture what is naturally there but in a way that abstracts it and allows the viewer to notice something new and different about ordinary physical reality. I carefully compose all my photos spontaneously as I am shooting, moving the camera angle until I see what looks like a balanced, dynamic composition.

In my painting, I allow my hands to move intuitively on the canvas creating shapes and textures that feel right. I repeat patterns and choose colors from somewhere beyond my thinking mind. I am very inspired by the repeating patterns I see in nature. Plants and animals move me a great deal.

I am taping into my unconscious and go into a dream like state when I create art.

abstracted

Abstracted and colors saturated.

I needed a picture of Round Valley for the NJ Audubon Important Bird Areas guide so I dug this one out from 2001. My old Canon Pro IS90 digital generated some noise, so I cleaned it up with Noise Ninja and ended up with this effect.

Abstracted forms, lines, shapes, light and textures. Croydon, 4 June 2014.

Abstracted.

Abstracted black & white images of plants being pollinated are projected onto the plants, so that as they enjoy the "porn" they can photosynthesize. Jonathon Keats received a Prixxx Arse Elektronika 2009 for this installation.

A bit of filtering on La Salette grasses..
