About

Shauneen Field is a Portland, Oregon–based artist whose work explores the emotional and symbolic relationships between people, landscape, and memory. Raised across the Pacific Northwest in a family of farmers, woodworkers, artists, and entrepreneurs, making was not just encouraged—it was necessary.

Field’s educational background spans theology, social work, and drafting and design—disciplines that continue to inform her practice through a balance of conceptual inquiry and structural awareness. Her work reflects an ongoing exploration of place, movement, light and the ways environments shape personal narrative.

Deeply influenced by the shifting terrain and atmospheres of the Pacific Northwest, Field creates paintings and drawings that merge abstraction with natural forms. Through layered compositions and intuitive mark-making, she evokes both the physical and emotional resonance of the natural world.

Field has been an exhibiting artist for over twenty-five years, with multiple shows at Tilde, 12 x 16 Gallery, and Luke’s Frame Shop. Her work has been featured in Portland Monthly, Dwell, and Gray Magazine.
