JUNE SHATKEN has been making art since she can remember.  Her inspiration comes from many sources;  the natural world, words, and the experimental use of the many art materials available.  She enjoys combining and layering different mediums for unique and unexpected results.  

One of her favorite sayings is: "A painting is never finished it just stops in interesting places."

From 2005-2015 Ms. Shatken owned The Brookside Art Studio in New Jersey where she painted, played, taught and inspired others to find and follow their own creative passions.  

In 2016 Ms. Shatken and her husband moved to Shelter Island NY where she continues to create art and hopes to continue to teach and inspire others. 

She is a member of ARTSI (www.artsi.info) a collective of island artists who participate in exhibits and an annual open studio tour.  

June's art can be found in many private and public collections.
