About Shawn Wright

Hi, I’m Shawn Wright—an artist returning to my roots.

I began my career as a graphic designer in the days before everything went digital, when X-acto knives, glue, and paper were the essential tools of the trade. While I’ve spent decades building a successful design business using computers and software, my hands never forgot the feel of analog creativity.

My creative journey feels like it’s coming full circle—returning to the tactile tools I began with, now shaped by decades of design experience.

I’m drawn to the odd juxtapositions and quiet tensions that emerge when unrelated pieces come together. Using vintage papers, found textures, hand-printed patterns, and layered imagery, I build compositions that are both intentional and intuitive. Each piece is a mix of curiosity, history, and experimentation—rooted in design, but reaching for something looser and more expressive.

As I continue this transition from design to fine art, shawnwright.art will be the home for this evolving body of work. I’ll be sharing pieces from my sketchbook and ongoing series, as well as larger mixed-media panels, assemblage work, and the occasional digital collage.

Thank you for being here and supporting this new chapter.

Let’s see what we can make.
