Shannan Nicole Artist | Contemporary Australian Abstract & Landscape Artist
Shannan Nicole is a contemporary Australian artist based in Perth, Western Australia, renowned for her expressive abstract landscapes, atmospheric seascapes, and nature-inspired oil paintings. Her original artworks capture the emotion, movement, and quiet beauty of the Australian landscape through rich textures, layered colour, and luminous light.
Working primarily in oil on canvas, Shannan creates contemporary abstract art that bridges realism and abstraction. Inspired by Western Australia’s dramatic coastlines, tranquil lakes, native flora, and ever-changing skies, each painting invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with nature.
After a successful career in business and accounting spanning more than two decades, Shannan returned to her lifelong passion for art, completing studies in Visual Arts before establishing her professional studio practice. Today she paints full-time, creating original artworks that are collected throughout Australia and internationally.
Her signature style combines bold palette knife work, expressive brushstrokes, and delicate glazing techniques to create depth, movement, and atmosphere. Whether painting a peaceful seascape, an abstract horizon, or an emotive landscape, every artwork is designed to evoke a sense of calm, wonder, and timeless elegance.
Alongside her studio practice, Shannan is an experienced art educator, sharing her passion through oil painting, resin art, and creative workshops held in her Perth studio.
Her work is ideal for collectors seeking contemporary Australian art that complements modern, coastal, Hamptons, Scandinavian, and minimalist interiors. Each original painting is created with professional artist-grade materials and finished with exceptional attention to detail, making every piece a lasting investment in Australian contemporary art.
