Shawna Fitzpatrick is a multifaceted artist, photographer, and designer based in Dallas, Texas. She was born on a military base in Wiesbaden, Germany and raised all around the United States before joining the United States Army in 2012. Although she has a background in Cosmetology, Barbering, and Military Science, Art is her life and passion. She developed a love for cartooning at a very early age, learning basic cartooning skills from the popular culture around her, such as Tex Avery and Walt Disney. Upon high school graduation in 2005, she soon realized that she had little interest in becoming a commercial graphic artist. Still to this day, this autodidact artist continues to study and grow on her own. She specializes in mysterious black, white, and grays. As well as in bright, colorful, imaginative character work. She has shown work in Europe, and America. She is inspired by cartoons, street art and lowbrow, childlike imagination, comics, world cultures, and urban photography.
