\u201cMy work seems to be on a very fast evolution & my subjects, medium and even my style often vary with my artistic vision. The one constant in my work is a quest to capture & hold energy for other people to experience in their own way. Positive, happy energy & interesting light is what I am drawn to.\u201d<\/p>\n
She chooses harmonious colors or more variation in tone and color contrast depending on the subject. Shogren\u2019s goal is for the energy of the art piece to fill the space around the art, while still leaving room for the viewer to feel that they can experience the art and what it has to say themselves.

In my art practice, I am always trying to capture the energy of a place or certain organic elements and then hold that energy on canvas or paper for someone else to experience in their own way. By continuously experimenting, I feel like my work is always evolving and improving. How minimal can I make a piece and have it still feel like a moment in time, an object or a place I have been? If you look closely, my modern landscapes are often a collection of abstracted pieces coming together to create the image of a magical day or beautiful natural elements. No matter how abstracted the work is, I try to create it to feel like something from nature.
\nIn my quest to create energetic works that capture the feeling of an object, a place or a time, a large number of art pieces have been created and privately collected over the years by avid Collectors all over the world.
\nEach day, I head to my studio with the intention of pushing the boundaries of modern landscape and abstract artwork. There is always one more idea to try.<\/p>\n","grille":false},"yoast_head":"\n
