ShoutoutLA: Meet Shauna Bailey | Impressionist Landscape Artist and Wedding Painter

“…what sets me apart from others, I’m very big on capturing the mood or feeling of a moment or place in my paintings. This approach to subject matter is technically a large part of what defines Impressionism, but you don’t see many young artists applying it to their works these days, and especially not in the wedding painting industry. I got really tired of seeing wedding paintings that looked dead, or flat, or too much like a photo. I really believe that paintings should feel alive, have movement, push colors slightly past what you see in reality, or even better – capture what an incredible moment feels like when you’re really loving life. I try to bring that philosophy into all aspects of my life, I don’t believe in the mundane, I believe everything can be a little bit magical if you have the right perspective.“
