Dwayne Shepherd

Dwayne Shepherd - artistOriginally from Tennessee, drawing and painting since pre-school. Majored in Art, minor in Psychology and Theology at Austin Peay State University. Many Art awards in in High School and College. I have worked in many fields in the Art World such as Set Design, Scenic Painter, Fashion Coordinator, Mosaic/Tile Art, Stain Glass, Muralist, Makeup Artist, sold 500+ paintings, owned an Art Supply Store and an Art Teacher, which has been my main career. I also am honored to be a Docent at the Dali Museum and teach their Summer Art Program to children. I am presently at Osceola Middle School in Seminole, 23rd year; I was named ‘Art Teacher of the Year for the State of Florida’ in 2015 and in the Top 5 of ‘Pinellas County Teacher of the Year’ in 2009. I have also held leadership positions on the State and Local level with FAEA & PAEA. I have mentored many new Art Teachers over the years and I have have 3 former students who are Pinellas County Art Teachers. I am inspired by the beauty of nature and exploring variations of color and light. I aim to express emotion through the impressions of the brushstrokes. As an Art Teacher, I love sharing my love and passion for the ARTS with young creative minds. I am extremely grateful to live in Historic Kenwood and be a part of this Artist Enclave and I love having my own Art studio to escape to that ‘Artist Zone’ and forget reality and get lost in the color. I hope to continue learning and growing with love and feeling through visual expression.
