KASEY SHANTZ STUDIOS

Kasey Shantz is an artist, teacher, student and lover of the arts. His passion was ignited early in life when, as a child, he moved to California where the natural scenic beauty provided abundant inspiration for a developing artist. As he grew, so did his interest in art as he took every art elective available to him throughout his education, culminating in a Communications degree with a minor in Studio Art. After college, he started a business doing interior decorative painting and learned the faux finishing of wood grains, stone and marble, stenciling and fine Italian plaster application. He also became a master of murals and trompe l’oeil. His work can be found in restaurants and night clubs, as well as homes and private estates, from Florida to Oregon. His work also earned him a citation in a Better Homes and Gardens special interest publication “Beautiful Kitchens”. Kasey currently lives in Portland, Oregon where he continues to draw inspiration from the surrounding natural beauty.
