Wonder, Whimsy, and Imagination with Shawna Gilmore

Alicia hosts an episode interviewing painter Shawna Gilmore. Born and raised in the Upper Midwest, Shawna Gilmore draws deep from the winter-forged well of her overactive imagination. Her narrative, vintage-infused paintings explore many topics such as wonder, childhood, nature, patterns, and humor. Shawna graduated in 2000 from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a BFA in Studio Art and an emphasis on Drawing and Printmaking. She has exhibited both locally and nationally. Her work is part of private collections worldwide. Shawna lives with her verbally talented husband, Eddy, their twins, and a menagerie of critters in a lively neighborhood near lovely Lake Superior. www.createmagazine.com/podcast
