MEET THE ARTIST
My name is Shawhin Penney.
I was born and raised in San Jose, California.
I am an evolving artist who takes pride in creating fun and vibrant art.
While I am continuously exploring my skills in different mediums, my deepest passion is in working with pastel. I recently discovered watercolor and absolutely love it.
Because of my autism, I find it easier to express myself and connect to the world through visual language
​
I hope my art inspires you in any way you perceive it!

KIND WORDS
"I love Shawhin's Penney's work and I love it even more when I see his process changes all the time, depending on where his mind and imagination takes him. He is inspired by very simple things and people that he meets, he adds his own touch. Feels like nothing in his work is planned ahead. An amazing young man with a great sense of humor, full of surprises, playfulness, and a creative thinker."

"When observing Shawhin's artwork, he takes you into his world; how he views people and life around him. It's a journey everyone should experience!"
Lisa McConnell
"Shawhin's creativity is wild and perhaps rough, but very interesting. I love his style. They are bold, colorful decorative pieces. I purchased all his "Under the Sea" collection, and it is hanging in my sunroom where I spend most of my time there. Very inspiring young man!"
Dawn Davis
"It makes me smile every time I walk into my salon; his art is the first thing my clients notice when they walk in. The prints are the best quality. My family & friends love to receive Shawhin's frame-able greeting cards, they are beautiful. I am his #1 fan!"
