Shea Slemmer
Shea Slemmer grew up in the pastoral horse country of Ocala, Florida. After receiving her BFA from UNF in Jacksonville, she set up a studio in Savannah, and has also worked in New York and Marfa, Texas. Slemmer ties her work to process with a direct connection to the five senses. Working mostly in oil on canvas, the paintings she produces are products of the everyday—a tangible roadmap of her personal experiences. Slemmer’s works can be found in collections across the United States and Europe. Her recent solo exhibitions include Sweet Lorraine Gallery in Brooklyn, NY and The Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA. She has been
published in Studio Visit Magazine, Atomic Ranch, Savannah Magazine and The South Magazine. Of her work Slemmer says, "I am interested in moments of clarity. Those specific instances when I don’t know if I am dreaming or wide awake. Much like a map maker, I look for patterns and pathways and record Them as a reminder of what nature can teach. These markers tell a story of my healing journey and my hope is that they form bridges to reinforce our connectedness. We are all the same, after all."
