Artist Statement:
Shawna L. Handke is a Kansas
native who has found herself a
long way from home. She
currently resides in Boston,
where she creates paintings
and drawings, using acrylic,
gouache, watercolor, and ink.
She is inspired by snapshots
of everyday life, documented
through the lens of her camera
and in the pages of her
numerous sketchbooks. As she
presumes that hands and feet
reflect people’s occupations,
thoughts, or emotions, many of
her compositions are based on
human anatomy. She has also
decided to take social
responsibility to care for the
environment and expresses this
concern through her use of
many recycled materials.
Recently, she has created an
entire collection,
Scribbles—Sketches, which is
dedicated to her environmental
concerns. These are drawings
that are created on paper that
would have otherwise been
discarded. Overall, her
artwork is an immediate
reflection of her life and her
interpretation of others’
lives.
Handke received her Bachelor
of Arts in Painting at the
University of Nebraska at
Omaha in 2003. Handke has
been pursuing various avenues
to display her work both
locally and globally. Her
artwork is currently on
display in a gallery in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and
she has an exhibition
scheduled for ...
