Her recent solo exhibiton at  Wagner-Sousa in Galveston, TX just closed at the end of May and some of the work has traveled to Houston for inclusion in FLEETING.

Shawn is proud to be among the recent acquisitions at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans. The Ogden recently acquired the 28-panel painting BIO logy that was done while Shawn was in residency in NYC through the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in 2006. It has been on view since January and is currently located in the lobby.

The past year of 2008 included new work at the VanBrunt Gallery in Beacon, NY, in a show titled Women of New Orleans, and in New Orleans, work at Universal Furniture as a part of the St. Claude Collective during Prospect.1 and a solo show, L.A.B., at Antenna.
