A love of nature and wildlife is a tremendous source of artistic inspiration for Shania. Born and raised on the beautiful coast of British Columbia, Canada, her appreciation for nature is evident in the complex designs of her applique art quilts featuring the landscape and wildlife of Canada.

Self-taught in art and quilting, Shania went on to attend the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, graduating with a degree in industrial design. Her art and quilt patterns are sold around the world.

Proficient in graphic design as well as drawing, painting, and photography; Shania has now added textile design to her lengthy list of creative endeavours.
