An artist exploring beauty in nature, light, and quiet observation.
Jade Lyn Shantay’s artwork is inspired by simple elegance. Fascinated by light reflecting through glass, water cascading in streams and breath between words, she captures a feeling in time. Working primarily in oil paint on canvas/linen, Shantay’s work activates awareness for the delicate moments fleeting with time.
