Hello, my name is Bryson Shosten and I am a new artist from the small town of Sheridan WY. I am enrolled at Sheridan College and plan on pursuing a career in studio and ceramic arts. Throughout my high school career I developed a passion for creating work and inspiring others. It is my passion to share my work and experiences with you.
My Story
My work throughout my high school career became exponentially better. When I first began art classes in high school I had no idea how to develop a good composition, how to portray messages in my artworks, or even how to make an artwork look complete. Over the years I spent studying art in high school, I developed a never ending passion for creating.
As a student artist it can be very difficult for my artworks to reach the audiences that I want them to reach. I created "Shosten Creations" in order to display and sell my work that I have done.
Throughout my artworks there are recurring themes. Eyes are a huge staple in my artworks. As a kid I had a very difficult time drawing eyes. They always looked unrealistic and not proportional. I made it a goal to be able to draw eyes as perfectly and realistically as I could. Another staple of my work is figures that are drawn at a small scale. I draw characters that look similar to me at a small scale because I believe people have way too big of egos in today's world. I draw myself small in order to remind myself that I am always learning from others and that I am not the biggest person in the room. The small figures remind me to balance confidence and humbleness in everything that I do.
