Shearer received her BFA from Belhaven College in 1999. Her current body of work is born from a consideration of beauty and expectations. She has consistently exhibited her work throughout the southern United States for the past decade. It is included in multiple private art collections.

Artist's Statement:
I hope to reflect ideas through my work. What I have been creating has stemmed from hundreds of questions flying around in my head. Some of these questions are: What is meaningful? What is superficial? What makes me happy, and why? What is beauty? Why are some things that are beautiful labeled superficial? Does beauty equal weakness in your eyes?

In exhibiting my work I am not attempting to present answers, rather hoping to reflect my questions. My pieces are typically a mix of medias (spray paint, acrylic, colored pencil) on canvas. Most of all, I love the intensity and texture of oil paint.
