Shawna Erback started painting when she was a child. However, she started her journey to becoming a professional artist in 2003 during Christmas – this was a month after the death of her father. Today, she’s a top selling designer and artist with loyal collectors from around the world. Her collectors have followed her journey through fantastical forests and fields, past lonely, sad moons and on the backs of fairy peacocks and giant turtles. Her art collections can be found on licensed products, movie and television sets, and in the offices and homes of thousands of private collectors all over the world. Her luxury gift items and art are also featured in gift shops, galleries and on the walls of celebrity clients. The original paintings of Shawna, Puss In Boots and How To Train Your Dragon, sold out within minutes of their release.
The artist offers a unique style of dreamscapes in which she blends together fantasy and surrealism with whimsical or gothic tones, depending on where she’s taken by her mood. With each brush stroke, she weaves together a story that inspires her viewers. She draws them into her world where they can sit together for a while and share a moment. Shawna has been engaged as official artist for The Bradford Exchange for a very long time. Since the early 1970s, this company has been recognized as the primary source for a vast array of unique fine gifts and limited edition collectibles. Shawna also works with DreamWorks Animation Fine Art as their concept artist.
