About Shawna Urban

See?..was Shawna's first word as a baby. As a testament to the frequency in which it was spoken, it adorned the top of her 1st birthday cake. Her love of pretty things remained and blossomed into a passion for photography and art. Today, she is inspired by color and light, and continues to "see" beauty through her camera lens, creating art that invites you to linger, find a sense of calm and immerse yourself in life's beauty.
