Work by this artist that has sold.
Shannon Marie Schacht is a self-taught professional wildlife artist. Originally from Maine, she now resides in beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where her creativity is inspired daily by the natural surroundings. The best way to describe her style is contemporary realism with dramatic, yet intimate compositions.
These are not your typical wildlife paintings. Shannon has the ability and the gift of conveying the personality of her animal subjects in a way that is instantly recognizable and endearing to her collectors. "I have such a love for all animals, so I try to portray their sweet and gentle demeanor in each of my paintings. I want my Wildlife Portraits to inspire others to feel the same as I do."
Shannon has been drawing since she picked up her first pencil as a child, fascinated with sketching wildlife in charcoal. In 2015 she decided to put down the pencils and pick up a brush, and she quickly fell in love with painting. As a self-taught artist, she takes pride in developing her own techniques through trial and error, paying close attention to even the smallest details. Her work can be seen at numerous galleries around the country, and she frequently donates paintings to charities in the Jackson community.
