Description

Some pieces patiently wait for their forever home to find them. That�s the case with Shannon Bonatakis� �Not Good With Words�. Shannon painted this gorgeous piece for her solo show �Before This All Fades Away� held at Sally Centigrade in August 2016. I remember loving the piece when I first saw it and routinely checking the gallery�s web store while the show was exhibiting expecting to see it sold. At that time I had another large purchase in the works so I didn�t feel comfortable committing to another large purchase so soon.

Skip ahead to early August. I was checking Haven Gallery�s website and saw one of Shannon�s pieces. On a whim I went to her website, checked her store and found that she was having a Summer Studio Sale trying to clear up the studio in preparation for her daughter she was expecting in September. Much to my surprise �Not Good With Words� was included. I contemplated sending her a message asking about time payments but decided once again I had too many irons in the fire and deleted the message.

The next day I received an email from her mailing list announcing the sale and that was the push I needed since I knew it might be my last chance to own this beautiful piece. I emailed her and she was excited to work it out so this piece could finally find the right home.

After 3 years I am thrilled to finally be giving this amazing piece the home that it deserves. Some pieces just speak to a person. This is one of those pieces for me. I can�t explain why I love this piece but I just feel a connection to her. There is a beautiful solemness to her as she looks for another way to express how she�s feeling. It�s a state I�m sure we�ve all felt at some point. Having something you want to say but just can�t get it out in the open. Just a truly stunning piece. I�ve always loved Shannon�s stunning style. There is always such beautiful meaning behind the work she creates. I couldn�t be happier to finally have one of her gorgeous paintings in my collection. Especially one that has always been one of my favorites by this amazing artist.
