About

Shana Patry is a visual artist from Lac-St-Jean (L’Ascension-de-Notre-Seigneur), QC, Canada who lives and works in Saguenay (QC).

Supported by her family from a young age, she took oil painting classes between the ages of 8 and 12. After selecting all the art options in high school, she began her studies in Visual Arts at Cégep de Jonquière in 2013. Meanwhile, she started selling her works online through social media, participating in symposiums and craft fairs. She graduated in January 2016 and dedicated herself fully to her art.

Needing new challenges, she undertook a professional specialization certificate in artistic business launch in 2019 and then an intensive online training program at the Milan Art Institute, an American art school, in 2020. She is currently completing her studies in an interdisciplinary Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts at UQAC. A lifelong learner, she also accumulates professional development training through workshops and bootcamps.

Concerned with sharing her knowledge, Shana has been teaching acrylic and oil painting at the Ateliers d’Arts Plastiques de Saguenay since 2022. Her work has been showcased in several group exhibitions in Canada and Morocco.
