Ashley Berry/Shaunie B
Artist- Health Promoter- Educator
As a QTPOC artist based in Denver, Colorado, Shaunie’s work is centered on healing, transformation, and honoring the stories that shape us. Through a recent journey of personal discovery and connection to family history, Shaunie has delved into the impact of generational trauma, with each piece becoming a vessel for reflection, resilience, and growth.
While Shaunie’s earlier mixed media portraits celebrated the energy of diverse human experiences, her current work explores deeper narratives—resilience, love, and the intergenerational bonds that define identity. Engaging in intimate conversations with family members revealed the interconnectedness of their stories, and now each piece serves as a tribute to those who have influenced her healing and growth.
Expanding into installation and textile work, Shaunie weaves together physical, emotional, and ancestral threads, creating immersive spaces that invite viewers to confront their own histories and healing journeys. Her art is a prayer, an act of self-care, and a bridge between past and future—between pain and healing.
She is passionate about community, play, teaching and indulging in life's many experiences. With a BFA in drawing and ceramics and a Masters in Public Health, Shaunie is always finding ways to integrate health promotion within the act of creating. Educator and community advocate, she has attained her dream career as the Assistant Director of Community and Education at RedLine Contemporary Art Center in Denver, CO and runs various education programs there. She has shown her work throughout the Denver area and beyond and enjoys expanding her horizons and learning more about diverse communities and the world.
