Shannon Bickford

My current work explores transparent objects, reflective surfaces, shadows and images from nature; often reflecting metaphors for perception.  I use watercolor as my primary medium, enhanced by colored pencil, acrylics, and postage stamps. In recent years, I've begun to use digital media to illustrate short stories I've written and in conjunction with custom cut designs.
