Contemporary Fine Art

Available original paintings by Connecticut artist, Shannon Sorensen

My paintings have a sense of time, place, and space - and being present in that moment or feeling. Everywhere I go, in any stage of my life, I seek to find the beauty. I look for the lesson. I delight in noticing the quirky, the playful, the story, and the spirit. I thoroughly enjoy wandering off the beaten path and letting my mind wander.

I imagine a world I want to live in…and then I paint it.

Painting is a deeply meditative and healing modality for me. At my easel, I surrender to the creative flow. Each piece of art I make embodies a different energy that I’ve channeled through my mind, body, and spirit; through my memories, dreams, travels, love, loss, joy, stories, and songs.

I work with acrylics on a variety of canvases, papers, and wood panels, in order to create movement, texture, and layering of colors. I often reuse canvas (from my own studio or recycled from thrift stores) which adds unique character to the new painting.

We should give more than we take.
