Shana+Keegan+Interview

**December Artist of the Month- Shana Keegan**
“//Art is a good way for people to express their thoughts and feelings on paper without using words.”//

//Favorite Medium?// "I really like any form of drawing or painting."

//What first inspired you to draw?// "When I was a little kid, I would come up with stories and draw out the scenes I imagined in my head."

//Favorite things to draw?// "Characters, and things with symbolism. I really like Gothic Victorian style stuff, especially Tim Burton. He’s always been an inspiration for my art."

//What are your future plans?// "Writing has always been something I’ve enjoyed, so maybe I could illustrate the books that I write. I’ve also thought about being a middle school art teacher, because that’s the age where I started to realize that I had a talent and became interested in art, and I’d like to help other kids realize their potential too. Even if they don’t really like art, I’d like to be able to help them gain an appreciation for other people’s thoughts and ideas."
