Shannon Amidon More Art
Shannon Amidon is an artist based in Portland, Oregon, whose artwork is made with encaustic like molten beeswax and collaged vintage paper. She uses materials that evoke a sense of nostalgia, such as old letters, maps, book pages and report cards, which she finds at antique stores or estate sales. By repurposing ephemeral materials, she gives each piece a history beyond itself and adds to the personal nature of the art. She also makes her eco-friendly encaustic and oils. “The environment is very important to me, so I use natural earth pigments,” says Amidon. Her love of nature comes across in the motifs she selects, hinting at both the wonder and delicacy of the cycle of life.
