More about Shanna Israel…
I’m a professional artist and Creative Director for Art x Shanna and 10 Fold Entertainment. I’m also the founder of Art Fun Parties. I’ve worked with some of the biggest brands and celebrities in the world ranging from Madonna, Steven Tyler, Jamie Foxx, People Magazine, Target and Nike. I’ve always appreciated and embraced inventive and boundless thinking. Due to my unique professional and personal history, I’ve created a new marketing platform via Art x Shanna that will help provide viable and exciting answers to help repair the world. My personal journey includes significant medical challenges that led to seeing over 100 doctors within a 15-year period. I saw firsthand the cracks in life and the system that needed help. It’s because of my focused determination, thinking outside of the box mentality and luck I’m alive today. My visionary thinking and desire for creative solutions helped me design #livingtheshitoutoflife: your story in art. This is not a project or idea for me, it’s a culmination of my life’s journey that will continue to contribute to many other lives in a positive light. This is my answer to showcase incredibly inspiring stories, 3D art, and provide solutions at the same time. See more of my background here.
