Shona is an artist based in Co. Waterford, specialising in fantastical, surreal and detailed illustration for children's books and concept artwork. She studied Visual Communication at Edinburgh College of Art, specialising in stop-motion animation, and now works as an illustrator.
Her published illustration includes Rita Kelly’s poetry retrospective 'Turas go Bun na Spéire' and two Scottish Gaelic graphic novels for West Highland Animation, 'Cuir Stad air an Stoirm-Shneachda' and ‘An Smutag Ghaisgeal’. Her illustration projects range from publications of poetry and fiction, to concept artwork for theatre and computer games.
She also illustrates greeting cards and t-shirts for her design company Mireog, mostly in Irish but also other Celtic languages.
Her first solo show was in the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady in 2014, and she continues to create her own artwork and to exhibit her work nationally and internationally.
