Exhibit: Shawna Hatton In-Person
Shawna Rheaume Hatton is a multimedia artist, instructor, and the owner of Chasing Light Art Studio and Gallery in Springboro, OH. She has been an artist all of her life, inspired by nature, light, and the beauty of God’s creation. She received her B.F.A in painting from Saint Mary’s College, and attributes her love of art history to a year studying in Rome. After having children, she discovered a love of teaching and has been an educator in the arts for over twenty years. Through her classes she hopes to foster a love of art and the creative process. She believes the process of creating is healthy, healing, and more important than ever.
Shawna describes her photography as impressionistic in nature, and her paintings as expressionistic. Her work can be found in private collections around the country and has won many awards. One of the highlights of her career was something new, when she organized an art show/fundraiser for the children of Ukraine, supporting A Child’s Hope Int’l. The community rallied around the cause, raising over $12,000 to help feed the orphans displaced by war. It was a true testimony of the power of art to unite and bring some good to the world.
