I am most honored to have my painting "Serenade" selected for the cover of Natural Awakens magazine 2016 September issue. Also, a big thank you for the wonderful artist bio by freelance writer April Thompson----
''Art is healing
and nourishment.'' Says cover artist Shijun Munns. "A world without art
separates us from living our full potential. The creation of art is an
expression of love, acceptance and gratitude.'
Munns' art draws in
viewers with ethereal images of gardens, animals, mermaids, women and other
evocative subjects painted in lush, warm colors. Munns is inspired by the
beauty of nature, humanity and the fantasy world of fairy tales. Her cover
work, Serenade, evokes the importance of friendship and the joy of music, as
well as the peace and good fortune symbolized by the dove.
Munns was born and raised in Foshan and is a graduate of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. She has received numerous awards for her artistic achievements in both painting and art
instruction.
Her work has been exhibited in galleries and art
shows across the US, China and Hong
Kong, while her paintings can be found in private collections throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Munns now lives in the Atlanta area with her husband and pets, where she teaches art classes.
