Born in Israel and raised in Colombia, Shawna is now finishing her Bachelors degree in Jewellery Design at OCAD University. Shawna's expertise in transforming meaning into jewellery, alongside her skills in goldsmithing, has allowed her to create unique jewellery that has a deep story. From her intricate one of a kind work to her handcrafted production pieces, much of Shawna's work represents the
transformation of experiences of everyday life into tangible art forms. Her work has been exhibited at the One of a Kind Show and sold in galleries such as the Gladstone Hotel, House Gallery 105 as well as The Devils Workshop. Shawna was also awarded the Harbourfront summer residency in 2011 and received a scholarship from OCAD to attend the 2011 SNAG conference in Seattle. She is also looking forward to her summer where she will be selling her work at both the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in Toronto as well as in the Harmony Arts festival in Vancouver.
