Shawn Cameron

Both sides of Shawn’s family drove cattle into Arizona in the 1870s beginning a ranching heritage that’s now in the seventh generation.  Subject matter for painting is readily at hand and her passion is to share the life she has personally known and loved.  Shawn’s subjects are real; their story is true.  She drew and painted from childhood.  However, the foundation of her career came through the encouragement of her husband, Dean and Joe Beeler, CAA.  She credits the mentoring of friends such as Bill Owen, CAA and other admired professionals with improving her work. While grateful for God’s gift, her goal is to continue raising the bar for herself.   Shawn’s work has been featured in prominent publications, graced the cover of Western Horseman, Western Art Collector, other magazines, as well as been part of museum shows such as “Prix de West”, “Night of Artists”, “C.M. Russell Auction”, “Cowgirl Up! Art From the Other Side of the West”, “Coors Western Art Show” and more.  Her recognitions and awards include being named a “Master Artist” for Art of the Cowgirl 2024, receiving the “Steel Dust Award” in 2022 for Best of Show from the American Quarter Horse Museum in “America’s Horse in Art”.    She’s honored the Desert Caballeros and Booth Western Art Museum have purchased her art for their permanent collection.    She is extremely honored to be the first woman invited to exhibit as a guest artist with the Cowboy Artists of America at their 60^th Anniversary Show and Sale. Her studio is in Pine, AZ where she lives with her husband, Dean.
