                   Artist Biography:

Shaun Richel was born in Canada. At age 11 her family moved to Southern California. She has been involved in the arts since her early twenties. Working toward an interior design degree  Richel had the pleasure of experiencing many art classes.  Deciding to leave California to find a new place to live and wanting something completely different, she and her partner found they were drawn to Northern New Mexico. Especially loving the "big sky" with all that that implies; great rain storms, amazing clouds and the drama of  shadow and light,  they  came to the Taos area in late winter of '96 to live. The rest is history.

Artist's Statement: 

"What I most want to express in my work is it's painterliness: the loose, rapid handling, or the look of it, with broken color, uneven saturations and densities of the paint.  My approach is to be open at the start of a piece and to allow anything to happen, and the completion be to have the final work be appealing and an inviting composition.
