About Me

My name is Sha'nee and I am a visual artist and poet from North Carolina. I've been drawn to creative outlets such as drawing and painting since I was a child, but I started taking my craft seriously in 2016. Art saved my life and gave me a renewed sense of purpose during an extremely low point.

Arts & Emotions was created from a desire to connect with others through creative expression. Creating art has always made me feel alive, whether it was drawing or writing poetry. When I struggle to verbalize my emotions, I know I can always count on my art to do the talking. 

My art is inspired by music, nature, sociopolitical events, Black lives, the human experience, and mental health awareness. I strive to create pieces that are genuine and raw. I hope my art brings joy to others and reminds them that they are never alone in this world. In a world surrounded by constant destruction and gloom, I will always attempt to create more than I destroy. I hope you'll come along for the journey. Enjoy the art and stay awhile.
