Artist Statement

My name is Shauna Moran and for me art is an expression of fleeting creative visions. I express these visions through different types of mediums such as photography, designing, and drawing. I enjoy capturing an array of light and shadows in black and white photography, and creating unique designs.

 Although I don't paint I am interested in the evolution of paintings, history of art has been one of my favorite subjects that I have studied and my favorite eras are the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo. Although I have taken art history one and two I am interested in learning more about the history of artists and paintings, as I find it fascinating.

 My biggest interest is in graphic designing and advertising, I enjoy coming up with unique and clever ways to capture the attention of an audience. The biggest achievement in advertising is getting and attracting peoples attention to an ad. This is done by utilizing typography and images in a creative manner as to sell a product, whether it be a serious ad or humorous one. I particularly enjoy creating humorous ones more.

 When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of inspiration and achievement. When people see my work I would like them to see and understand the message that I am conveying in my art, whether it is a photograph, and ad or a design. These are the reasons why I would like to improve my skills in the field of digital art.
