Shannon Percoco

I am a high school art Instructor and mother of two boys. I went to the University of Illinois for a BFA in Painting and an MA in Art Education. I currently show my work at a restaurant in Chicago, Caro Mio and at local venues in Champaign.
My paintings are whimsical and melancholic explorations of color and composition often through nature. The paint allows me to continue my exploration of color and texture, searching for new relationships between paint, layering as a sort of collage. Adding to this, I bring to the paper several years of exploration and discovery centered on stimulating color and the evocation of emotion.
Painting, for me, is a means to communicate shared thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Ideally, my work functions as a way of dealing with this awesome, sometimes horrific, yet mostly pleasing life.
