Artist's Statement

​

human spirit. Prior to his enrolment in University Shayne had first attended animation school in Vancouver, BC where he attained a certificate in Classical Animation. Outside of school Shayne is a working artist performing a variety of contracts for business, community groups and individuals.

​

Shayne feels that traditional art school presented the opportunity to grow as a visual artist, broaden his scope of creative output in addition to receiving a degree from a Post secondary school. The works that Shayne selected for his grad show reflect what he feels is a representation of his personality, passion and persistence. Shayne wanted to create a body of work that reflects his ability to work in both two dimensional and three-dimensional art. He selected three works
for his graduation show. It was Shayne’s hope that the three works act as a snapshot of his progress, style and approach in his creative craft. Shayne also hopes that the viewers appreciate the range of all
the artists representing Vancouver Island University.
