Shauna Tuey Featured at Monster Art for September ArtWalk
Shauna Tuey is a self taught visual artist born and raised in Seattle, Washington.
She uses a wide variety of mediums for her paintings including melted crayons, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, and color pencils. She is constantly exploring new creative outlets and integrating new techniques into her work.
Her designs are inspired by the world around her as well as by other artists in the community. In the early stages of her work, she explored abstract designs which eventually evolved into more concrete ideas. It's been enjoyable to watch her style develop as she began to research mythological stories and sacred geometry. It became her goal to not only capture the images in her head but to breathe life back into the stories that she reads.
Her focus is never on one technique for too long as she finds the exploration of the unknown too appealing to settle down in a particular medium; this gives her work a sense of blooming as she changes and grows as an individual. Although she can't commit to a medium, there is an unchanging tone to her work which enhances the organic beauty she perceives with a whimsical lightness. She is truly an adaptable artist looking to bring the best out in her creations. Whether it's painting, silk screening, dance or baking she always finds a way to put her heart and soul into what she's making.

“Patch Worked Series”
The act of
sewing colors of fabric together to create pattern is an old and worthy act
traditionally done by women out of necessity- some say a “labor of love” to
keep families warm when they sleep. I
have always been attracted to patch work maybe because my mother is a quilter
and I grew up surrounded by color and pattern.
As a child I remember making projects of 9-square patch work pillows and
I also took needlepoint lessons. The act
of arranging color into patterns is my passion.
I am most influenced by the African-American tradition of multiple
pattern quilts. The quilts are usually
divided into blocks of a repeat pattern; however each block is uniquely
interpreted and rarely contains straight lines.
These quilts exemplify the West African principle of protective multiple
patterning. Evil spirits would have to
decode the complex mixture of many patterns before they could do any harm to
the user. The idea of a physical quilt
used for spiritual protection has influenced me greatly.
“Patch Worked” is an ongoing
series of work that explores and celebrates color and pattern created from an
everyday object. I paint brown paper, cut it and sew it
back together in interpretive unique patterns.
I use recycled paper bags because
it is a way to recycle the paper and “make something from nothing” a theme that
has inspired my art making. This work is a contemporary look at the
traditional craft of patchwork.
My paper balls
are a reflection and influence of Japanese culture and an appreciation of a
simple object made beautiful. In Japan
paper is a national treasure. Many
objects, especially those for children, are made from paper like kites, fans,
and even paper balloons. Paper is
temporary material that brings play and beauty to one’s life.

Paper, Scissors……………and Glue.
Last fall I came across some collages I made many years ago and thought them pretty cool. So I picked up a magazine and started to look for interesting images. At first the pieces were therapeutic in theme as I was (and still am, of course) dealing with the loss of my Most Wonderful Husband the year before. But to my surprise, what emerged were not all images of darkness and grief, but rather images of healing, of moving on, even images laughing at sorrow. It seems my unconscious mind was way ahead of me.
And it’s that spontaneous, intuitive, aspect of collage that has fascinated me ever since. As a painter I always know what image I want to capture on canvas (and sometimes struggle mightily to make that happen.) As a writer I know the basic story before I begin. But as a collage artist I am always surprised---and often delighted----by what emerges.
All the elements of these pieces are cut from magazines and books I find at thrift stores. Each usually begins with a single image I find intriguing. I then look for its “home”--- a landscape or skyscape or other objects that seem to work with it--- and somewhere in that process a “meaning” of some sort emerges. Some pieces come together very quickly. The bits and pieces of others may hang around on my work table for a week or two (or more) as I try this, that, and the other before finding whatever it is that’s needed to complete the idea of the final piece.
I hope some of these will make you smile. Some may make you sad. Whatever, I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I (and my subconscious) enjoyed making them!
