Hi! I’m shawnee

I am an artist in San Francisco.

For me art is a universal language for expressing feelings too nuanced for words.

I illustrate to engage playfully with emotion and stress.

My illustrations serves as an expression of identity and is an invitation for others to witness life through my eyes.

I love connecting with others - please feel free to reach out and we can chat about all things art!

MY ART & RIJI studios

I draw to my whims, sometimes it’s silly and colorful, sometimes it’s dramatic and melancholic. RIJI (日记 - rìjì) means diary in Chinese, and that is exactly what my art is, an expression of my mood when words just don’t quite do it.
