Shauna

Shauna is an Irish muralist and street artist based in London whose large-scale figurative works explore light, storytelling, and belonging. Her murals sit between portraiture and mythmaking, using painted light as both an aesthetic and narrative angle.

After working in arts management across museums and community festivals, she moved from studio to street, shifting her practice toward collaboration and public space. She has since produced murals across the UK, Europe, Mexico, and the US, working with councils, festivals, and communities to translate local stories at architectural scale.

Her current body of work, Myths & Legends, reimagines folklore and oral histories through a contemporary lens, depicting ordinary people as modern archetypes. Drawn to myth for its ability to be both hyper-local and universal, Shauna’s work traces how places define themselves through shared stories, and how those stories evolve. Often developed through dialogue with local communities, her murals aim to create brief moments of enchantment in the everyday.
