About the Artist

With over 25 years of experience as a fine art painter, Shawn Skeir has built a prolific career with work held in significant private collections and exhibited in numerous solo and group shows throughout North America. Alongside his visual practice, he has performed for decades as a vocalist in local venues, nightclubs, cabarets, and musical revues. Deeply committed to community and charitable causes, Skeir views creativity as both a privilege and a responsibility – using his practice to inspire, empower, and foster meaningful connection. “I feel a sense of achievement in using my talents to help communities and charitable causes. I feel it is important, as well as a great privilege, to have the opportunity to use my abilities as an artist to inspire and empower others toward a life lived with creativity and passion.”
