Emily Shane is a mixed-media artist living in Knoxville, Tennessee. Her work reflects interest in light/shadow, weight/air, and stasis/movement – especially as they inform the perception of depth. By exploring the interplay of color, pattern, and shape, Shane creates a narrative of personal beauty in the perfection of symmetry and equilibrium.
Shane is happily challenged by Reader's Digest Condensed Book covers as a medium both compelling in its limitation for the artist and vaguely nostalgic for the viewer.
