Shannon Amey

Amey’s life and work have taken her around the world, both as a visitor and a resident. Living overseas in Asia for many years from Bhutan to Korea the artist found home again in both the East and West of Canada. In recent years she has found herself in Central and South America and is currently exploring nordic culture living in Finland. Amey’s immersion and exploration of the places and people she interacts with deeply influence her work. The artist draws upon her experiences and interviews where she explores human connections to places and people through time. The artist focuses on the origin and creation of narratives derived from memories.

About Work

Amey lives in a small town in Finland. Her home is on a main street, the sidewalk touches the house. Beside her house is an old shed that was a shop over 100 years ago with windows, a little kiosk. This is her current completed works to the street from the windows of the Kiosk which has 6 windows. A mini Gallery for all those passing by. A gallery from home, for those at home. There are 2 apartment buildings across the street with mostly seniors who can see the work from their window. This is her offering to the community to help bring joy and togetherness.
