Artist Bio:
Shay's series of paintings, titled "Dusk" is the blend between her obsession with Bohemianism and modern-day patterns from the African Diaspora. Each piece is meant to evoke calm and in one's surroundings with the use of a subtle color palette and raised surfaces. Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., Shay immigrated to Canada in 2012 to work in Vancouver's film industry and is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S.A. She received a B.F.A from Syracuse University and M.A. from the Fashion Institute. She works full-time in post production in the film industry and resides in Vancouver with her spouse and daughter.
