Llael Shannon's Work on paper.
Llael Shannon's pencil work and oils on paper is moody and striking. The images on paper are smaller and more intimate and gain a very private almost voyeuristic quality . Llael is currently working to increase her works on paper. The studies in this gallery are mostly preliminary work for large oil paintings. More to come soon.

Behind The Brush
Born 11 April 1976 with brush in hand and an amazing ability to capture a seemingly ordinary moment and turn it into something extraordinary.
Grew up in the inner city suburb of Spotswood, Melbourne. Started painting in oils at the age of 7 and sold her first painting at 15. She has been a professional exhibiting artist since the age of 16.
Attended ICAD (independent College of art and Design)
In 1993 Llael enrolled at lCAD (Independent college of art and design) in Prahran, Melbourne, a non profit art school run by the students and teachers on Chapel St. Here she was a student of Artist Terry Mattasoni in her major of oil painting. She also studied Photography, Popular Culture and Art history for four years and received her Batchelor of Fine Art and Design in 1996.

In recent years Llael has done commission work for businesses, offices and sold her works to private collectors.

She has multiple mentions in the press for her local images of the west and features regularly in the Arts scene in the western suburbs of Melbourne where she grew up.
Llael has exhibited at the Pantechnicon Gallery in Daylesford in Joint exhibitions and in a solo exhibition entitled "Observations in Light”. At the Melbourne International art show and Pivotal Galleries in Richmond (2004 to 2005).

Llael also continually holds private viewings of her work in her studios and exhibits at Art shows in her local area. (To Date).
Llael’s work is inspired by Melbourne’s suburbia (predominantly the west were she grew up) and the private goings on of its inhabitants. She captures small seemingly insignificant moments or suburban life and turns them into images with a thousand explanations and stories.
“Suburbia hides some of the most beautiful and complex images you will ever see. It is rich in stories far more sensual, thrilling and dangerous than any Hollywood movie; you just have to search for them". Llael Shannon "The Western Star"
