Art By Shannon Weaver

Shannon Weaver is a Hawaiian artist from the island of Maui.

From a very young age, she knew she wanted to be an artist.

Growing up in Maui, with its large art community and many galleries, further fueled her interest. With much encouragement from family and friends, she studied art at Baldwin High School on Maui, then continued on to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting.

Shannon Weaver draws her inspiration from Hawaii. Through art, her goal has always been to express the beauty of the people, land, and culture, in an effort to honor her Hawaiian heritage. All of her oil paintings start from an original sketch she creates from her mind's eye. The colors she uses are bright and vibrant, like Hawaii's beautiful climate. The hula and the lei are integral parts of the Hawalian culture, and are brought together boldly in her original artwork.
