Shanna Lenè Hattaway

I left my job in law enforcement in 2014 and moved from the New Orleans area, to the Florida Panhandle the following year with my family to start a new life and pursue my love for art. I'm an octopus enthusiast and a fan of the big-eyed, pop-surreallism style. Some of my biggest influences are Margaret Keane, Yoko D'Holbachie and of course, Bob Ross. I grew up watching The Joy of Painting, and as a child, I just knew that I too wanted to paint happy clouds and trees.
