Shashonna is a Portland based artist whose interests lie in the grosser things of life. She was raised in a video store for the first memorable years of her life, and showed a fascination with the box art in the Horror movie section. Fascination soon turned to Obsession and led her down a path of home made movies and costumes. Many of her teenage years were spent working for local Haunted houses, where she began her love affair with special effects makeup.
After climbing the ladder in the Haunted House industry to Lead makeup artist, she moved on to work for a Indiana based company by the name Gore Galore. Here she learned sculpting, casting and air brushing while creating large scale, high quality monster costumes.
Today she resides back in Oregon and continues her love of monsters and makeup. She works on a wide variety of projects for film, theatre and local businesses.
