About this artwork
With this piece, I hoped to push the boundaries yet again. I wanted to use ink, acrylic, gouache and water colors to see how much depth I could create. I began using thick, heavy ink to create the tree. Following this, I left certain areas blank, or drew the tree in a bit lighter so I could start adding washes of the blues and pinks. I would then go back in and add more layers of the trees, then more layers of the colors, so on the so forth.
The… spotting effect is from water. I would lay the wood panel flat and let water sit on the panel for 5 minutes or so then let it run off onto the floor. This removed layers and created the interesting spotting/dripping effect.

« Painting is where passion and instinct meet—it’s the thing I was meant to do. »
Shannon McKee first discovered painting in high school in 2009, but it wasn’t until a shift in a promising soccer career at UC Berkeley that painting took center stage. Encouraged by family, she enrolled in a college painting class in 2012, and the support from professors led her to pursue a degree in Art Practice, which she earned in 2015. After graduating, she moved to San Diego, where she opened her first studio and briefly worked as a curator—an experience that helped refine her artistic voice.
Today, her work focuses on large-scale abstract and abstract-expressionist painting, often blending in human forms and portraits. Her intuitive process is driven by movement, emotion, and spontaneity. Flipping the canvas and using a range of tools—from bold palette knives to soft washes—keeps the work fresh and instinctual.
Inspired by the act of painting itself and the highs and lows of everyday life, her goal is not to tell a specific story, but to create space for honesty, energy, and connection. In 2024, she formally launched her art business, offering original works, commissions, and reproductions that reflect her deep love for the creative process.
