It is with rare honor that one is in the presence of a true 'literati' – a scholar, writer, painter, poet, calligrapher, who in today’s ‘instant’ world presents a quieter, more soulful expression. It is even more rare that a woman so contemporary responds to such a traditional education by embracing these established art forms and translating them into a new dynamic.

Shansa cannot be defined as a writer or as a poet, but as an artist who is the true embodiment of sensory imagery. In written word or painted image, her meaning is transposable. She espouses an intellectual dialogue that is timeless but relevant, a dialogue that is birthed in the past, thrives in the present and progresses into the future.

In calligraphy, painting and literature, she evokes with fresh energy a profound message of emotion and purity, through vibrant color and delicate brushstrokes. Shansa’s works are ageless, poignant and exhilarating.
