“I paint along the seam where the tangible meets dream- where the natural world bends toward imagination. Plants, animals, memory, and myth guide me- teachers who whisper stories into form. I believe imagination is a healer: one that restores our sense of wonder, deepens connection, sharpens intuition, and opens us to pure possibility. Each painting is born as a personal prayer, then released as an invitation, free to find its own belonging in the world.”
Shanna Trumbly is a third-generation Oregonian and lifelong artist based in Eugene, Oregon. A self-taught painter and entrepreneur, she discovered her love for the fluidity and challenge of acrylic paint after early studies in graphic design. Over the years, she has built a creative career that spans numerous artistic ventures, developing both an online presence and partnerships with hundreds of stores across the United States. Her work is also rooted in community, with an annual presence at the Oregon Country Fair, where she shares her art directly with collectors and kindred spirits. From her earliest memories, Shanna has been called to create- forming imagery through the weaving of stories between the natural and imagined worlds. Today, her paintings continue that lifelong calling, reflecting her deep connection to nature and her enduring belief in the healing power of wonder and imagination.
