BIO
Shannon Gilbert is a North American visual artist with an East Coast studio practice based in Richmond, Virginia. She earned her BFA from VCUarts. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Taubman Museum of Art and Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art.
Artist Statement
My studio practice examines multiple approaches to making art and memories. As my catalog of memories deepens, my perception of reality and history is altered. My work allows me to explore my environment at a particular moment and to freeze the forms and colors that represent my time in that space. I travel and collect images as the initial mechanism to develop ideas. I use painting, collage and printmaking to express those ideas visually.
