ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

A year ago I met Shasta through a friend and went to one of her first art showings in this cute space in Astoria.

I am really impressed with her work- I like the modern aesthetic while still really capturing the dog’s exact profile.

SHASTA MOLNAR |  Jackson Hole,  WY

Raised in Arizona, Shasta earned her BFA in Utah before moving to New York City with the goal of finding her passion.

A talented actress and painter, Shasta loves travel, meet new people, and their pets. Her inspiration is as simple as her subject matter. “I love dogs, they all have a unique personality which makes what I do very fun and challenging. I don’t want to just paint a picture. I want to capture a moment that tells a story about who they are.”

Before moving to Jackson Hole recently, Shasta used to collect her material about the city. “Tompkins Square Park is one of my favorite places to go. It’s a large part dividing small and large dogs. I like small dogs as they get really excited jumping on each other and running around like little rockets! You can’t help but laugh!”

If you purchase any of her art or commission a painting for your dog please mention The District Dog sent you her way- Thanks!
