About Me
Artist Bio
Shannon Rios
I'm a mixed media oil painter from Southern Idaho with a cubist impressionist realism style. I've been painting since I was 15, formally trained with an AA and BA in fine art, and after 40 years of treating my gift like a hobby, I'm finally here, fully & unapologetically. I use color the way some people use music, to pull an emotion out of you, any emotion, as long as you feel something. My work is built on structure; golden ratio, color theory, light and shadow ; but the music in my studio loosens all of that into something alive. I paint strength in its many forms: women who know who they are, horses, bulls, dancers, landscapes that feel like they're breathing. I'm sarcastic and warm, equally at home in a crowd or alone in my studio for hours, and I love hard; my family, my craft, the people who stop in front of a painting and grab someone's arm. I create a mood and let the work do the talking. I'm 55 yrs, experienced & I've been through it, and I still have a lot to say though my work.
