FadlienShallon Shallon Fadlien is a professional artist, born in Saint Lucia, who works primarily with acrylics. Shallon earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ontario College of Art and Design University and although she presently resides in Canada, her work still shows evidence of her strong affinity to her homeland. Bold colours and simplistic lines are integral to her compositions as she explores themes of fantasy, love and life while blurring the boundaries of realism. Recently, her work has been displayed at the St Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival, The Missing Slate 2016 and the Piton International Film Festival 2016.
