Shona Nunan

Shona Nunan (b. 1959) has been an artist for as long as she can remember, growing up immersed in her father's studio. A formative period of her childhood was spent living in the Australian outback, where she first encountered the ancient markings of Australia's First Peoples.

Although her primary medium is bronze, Shona's creative process always begins with plaster, which she models rapidly, carving and etching directly into the surface. Her works retain a raw, tactile quality, echoing both ancient art and contemporary expression. Her themes explore universal symbols of life, protection, and transformation through archetypal forms. She lives and works with her husband, artist Michael-Francis Cartwright, maintaining studios in Provence, Tuscany, and Australia.
