OUR 2023 JUDGE

Shanna Kunz

Shanna Kunz is s a contemporary landscape painter, raised with a strong connection to the land and a deep sense of place. Her upbringing in the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah, as well as her experiences exploring the mountain ranges and deserts of the West, have heavily influenced her work. Art, music, and family have been constant sources of inspiration for Shanna and have helped shape her unique voice as a painter.


In her work, Shanna seeks to capture intimate imagery that resonates emotionally with her viewers, rather than depicting specific locations. Her paintings are characterized by their complexity, moodiness, and honesty, and are often described as transcendental by those who view them.
