Born in Santa Cruz, CA in 1971, Shanii Renay comes from a long line of artistic women. She is an artist whose ascending talent in the art world is established by challenging the confines of a canvas to deliver both beauty and depth. Using her unique blend of photography, digital imaging, and acrylic paint on canvas, Shanii is quickly becoming an “artist to watch” by eclipsing existing mixed media standards.

Shanii captivates the viewer through the aesthetic beauty of her artwork. She next invites the viewer into her world, which is both complex yet calming and depicts specific times in life that are influenced by the past, present, and future. The viewer is intrigued with the astute attention to detail and is eventually taken on a personal journey as the works begin to unfold. Her works are a visual depiction of emotions that ebb and flow deep inside our own consciousness.
