Shawn Foote was born in Tacoma, WA in 1974. At four years old he moved with his family to start a cattle ranch in Southern Idaho. Shawn grew up in the country before moving back to Tacoma where he attended Pacific Lutheran University. Shawn bounced around Oregon and Idaho before settling in Tacoma when he was hired as a stock broker for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. With the highs and lows of the financial world, Shawn found himself yearning to become an artist. He left the financial industry in 2005, moving to Pioneer Square, where he lived in his studio and created art. Foote's studio was in Seattle's historic 619 Western Building and was a regular stop during The Pioneer Square 1st Thursday Art Walk.

Now Foote's studio is in Tacoma, WA. He currently teaches art at an alternative high school in Spanaway. His body of work spans decades, inspired by nature, spirituality, current events and history. Shawn's art often emerges out of a process, where ideas, experiments, and techniques culminate in pieces that gain a life of their own. Resourcefulness and regular reflection are critical to Foote's process, while curiosity, refined technique and patience allow his art to develop over time. In the end, art is a meditation and a means for self expression. Shawn likes to say, "My art is my alchemy."
