About SheilaDunnArt

Well known & award winning Oregon artist Sheila Dunn, paints the people + wild things + the places that inspire her, with a focus on using her artwork as a vehicle for activism. She donates a portion of all sales to various conservation and social justice organizations. In 2019, she was selected by the US State Department to be a featured artist in the Art in the Embassies program, founded by the Museum of Modern Art and President Kennedy in 1963. In 2006, she received a BFA in painting and a minor in art history from Colorado State University. Her love for creating – and belief in its absolute cultural significance – was solidified while studying abroad in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy in 2005. In the birthplace of the Renaissance she deepened her understanding of art’s ability to transform and transcend; to be a placeholder of our past and an instrument of our progress & growth. When not painting, she can be found exploring the wonders of the Pacific Northwest, tending to her storefront in the beautiful hometown of Bend Oregon and searching for her lost keys. Read their story
