Shawn Bishop-Leo Born: Ames, Iowa Educated: BFA English Literature, University of Dayton, OH, Studio Art, Kent State, OH Exhibited: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans The focus of Shawn’s work is based around the strong female archetype. Her multi-layered paintings incorporate vintage wallpapers, fabrics and found objects both natural and man made. Leo describes her imagery as “oscillating between the coy and the fierce, a sort of parlay between dominance and submission.” She explains, “The patterns are often repetitive and geometrical but when layered become jumbled and irrational, pushing background into foreground, object into subject and subject into symbol.” Shawn is also a working fashion designer. Her designs have been sold in stores in Milan, Paris, New York and featured in various fashion magazines.
