Shauna's Website

Irish muralist, portraitist & street artist, based in New Cross, Southeast London. Shauna’s visual arts practice is grounded in figuration and reflects how self-definition is informed by place. She is interested in questions of unreliable memories, collective social identity, and inter-dependence.

She has recently begun a series of ethereal portraits of women and girls interacting with light, both a visual investigation of the playfulness of light on a figure and a symbolic gesture recognising how painting in a community of women brought sparked a new energy in her artistic practice. She is also experimenting with geometry, 3D-space and optical illusion work.

Experienced in working with private clients, community groups and schools on producing bespoke murals.

As an Eco-artivist, 'Rubbish artist,' and mosaicist, I pioneer sustainable art, creating works entirely from waste and with the minimum possible environmental impact.

Haunted by mankind’s imminent self-destruction, I believe in systemic re-thinking. Each tessera I create is a protest against our disposable lifestyle.

My commitment to sustainability encompasses every aspect of my life, from veganism to renewables, second-hand clothes, and not flying.

Formerly a City solicitor, I graduated with distinction from LSoM in 2019, where I also lectured Fabrication. Internationally, I exhibited in 100+ venues, was published in 90+ articles and textbooks, and won 20+ awards. I ama member of the Insights Of An EcoArtist community (IOAEA), the By/Design collective, Act for Ealing, BAMM, Heritage Crafts, VAA and Mensa.

I am the founder of Payment in Kind(ness)© (accepting eco-friendly actions as payment towards my artwork) and of ArtforTrash© (creating artwork with the clients’ own waste). I donates 10% of any ArtforTrash commission to Neptune's Pirates (or other environmental charities), and I run pro-bono projects on eco-awareness.

I amnow on retainer with the Institute of Marine Sciences in Venice for the next few years.

My interest is in the play of colour and texture as they revolve around nature and people. I use digital software to re-work sketches, painting and photographic images to explore the play of colour, texture and line that presents itself. It's a multi-layered approach whereby original sketches and photographs may be re-worked, re-painted and then re-worked a number of times till completion of the final image – a process that can take many months. My aim is to delight and surprise the viewer – for them to see and feel an abstraction of the familiar re-presented from a new perspective.

My name is Yorgos (U.SAID.IT), I am a Painter and a Street Artist.

My multi-cultural upbringing, dark materialism, gender inequalities, fear, and uncertainty in our world in crisis has inspired my work on human complexity. Rather than focusing on cognitive justifications and expressions, I follow human gestures, taking physical interactions as signs for meanings, emotions, and relations. The moral and emotional qualities of human beings are embodied and emerge through the movement of the body and its interaction with space. The bodies are naked, which enhances its distance from socially constructed views of class, distinction, beauty, and sexuality.

Storybeyondlines was conceptualized by myself, aimed at bringing the traditional & spiritual art to the world. To promote art which not only brings joy to people, but also has soothing and transformative effects on ones’ energy, has been a key theme of Storybeyondlines.

A self-taught artist, I have had a deep inclination for art since childhood and have been creating artwork since more than a decade.
Over the years, I realized that I wanted to bring to the world the art that would make someone feel connected to his/her spiritual energy, and therefore my passion for the mandala art grew and I took to her calling to bring forward this artwork to a wider audience. With numerous workshops to my side, and many customized art-works created for my clients, I have been deeply rooted to expressing and bringing forward my art form across borders.

I am a Nigerian-born, American-trained Artist residing in the United Kingdom an artist with a unique personal style. Most of my recent paintings were influenced by the political and social upheaval of our world today and the works of Renaissance artists.
I was moved by emotion to do most of my political and socially influenced paintings “THE EAGLE HAS LANDED” was done to speak about the American-led war on terror. My painting “THE BLEEDING ROSES” was done in solidarity with Christians beheaded by ISIS in Iraq and Syria. I used my paintings “AFRICAN’T”, “HUNGER IN THE LAND OF PLENTY” and “OIL: AFRICANS’ WEALTH AND WOE” to speak about the exploitation of African nations. The Painting depicts paradoxical poverty and the riches of Africa. my work, “THE FISHERS OF MEN” is about the horror of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. I also used my painting – “UKRAINE: THE UNFORTUNATE BRIDE” to speak about the America and Russia-influenced war in Ukraine.
My works progress from political paintings to paintings of the facts of the life of people.
The theme of my works, in general, is "The Facts of Life: Roses and Thorns." Life is roses and thorns; sometimes it emanates the sweet aroma of pleasantness and sometimes it pricks and causes pains. I often use roses and thorns for portrait paintings of the facts of people's lives. I first used Roses and Thorns in my political painting “THE BLEEDING ROSES.” Since then I have adopted this floral iconography style - Roses and Thorns as my unique style in some of my paintings like “DOMESTIC ABUSE”, and “MY MOTHER, Her Majesty Platinum Jubilee: Her Rosy Reign” to name a few. Roses are for achievements and other positive parts of life and Thorns are painful challenges and negative parts of life.

I’ve only just begun my journey in printmaking. For a good part of my life I didn’t allow myself to ‘create’. I would spend my time wasting time. Now I’m taking the STEPS necessary to live the best life I can live. Take it easy, but take it! I’m from New York City, but have been living in ‘ManhActon’ for almost twenty years.
