Delicate wildflowers rise from a golden crescent. Artist Shannon Amidon incorporated crushed mother of pearl and gold leaf into the piece, adding soft shimmer and rich texture to the wax layers. The ethereal background highlights the delicate details of the plant.
About the Artist
Artist Shannon Amidon is inspired by the briefness of life and the wonders of the natural world. "I explore the cycles of life, drawing attention to its transitory and fragile nature," she says. Using encaustic—a medium made from molten beeswax—Shannon incorporates vintage materials like letters, maps, and book pages, giving each piece a layered history and personal touch. Her love for nature is reflected in her eco-friendly practices and delicate, nostalgic motifs that evoke the beauty and fragility of life’s cycles. Her studio, a converted garage, is her sanctuary, where she meticulously crafted every detail to create an organized space that allows her to easily access her mixed media supplies. Outside of the studio, Shannon is passionate about gardening, beekeeping, and running The Verdancy Project, a community-oriented initiative offering creative residencies, retreats, and art projects.

Shannon Amidon
Shannon Amidon is an artist based in Portland, Oregon, whose artwork is made with encaustic like molten beeswax and collaged vintage paper. She uses materials that evoke a sense of nostalgia, such as old letters, maps, book pages and report cards, which she finds at antique stores or estate sales. By repurposing ephemeral materials, she gives each piece a history beyond itself and adds to the personal nature of the art. She also makes her eco-friendly encaustic and oils. “The environment is very important to me, so I use natural earth pigments,” says Amidon. Her love of nature comes across in the motifs she selects, hinting at both the wonder and delicacy of the cycle of life.
