The Second Gaze

Paintings by Shannon Hunt — Faces, spirits, and memory in pigment and light

About the Artist

Shannon Hunt is a painter of portraits and spirits, capturing the unseen threads of memory and meaning with every brushstroke. Working from her home studio in northern New Hampshire, she channels the quiet, the wild, and the soulful into luminous works of art.

Her work is deeply informed by myth, dreams, nature, and the subtle presence of the past. These paintings are not just of people—they are portraits of spirit, of presence, of something more.
