Shawn Cameron’s Arizona ranching heritage continues into the sixth generation. Both sides of her family drove cattle into Arizona and began ranching in the 1870s—a legacy that continues today. Her subjects are real: their stories are true. Her passion is to share this life she has personally known and loved. She drew and painted from childhood; but the mentoring of friends such as Bill Owen and other noted artists helped her grow professionally. Grateful for the gift God has provided, her goal is to continue improving.  Her work has graced the cover of Western Horsemen, Western Art Collector, and other publications.  She has participated in museum shows such as “Prix de West,” “Night of Artists,” “C.M. Russell Auction,” “Cowgirl Up! Art From the Other Side of the West,” “Coors Western Art Show” and more.   Her recognitions and awards include being named a “Master Artist” for Art of the Cowgirl in 2024 and receiving the “Steel Dust Award” in 2022 for Best of Show from the American Quarter Horse Museum’s “America’s Horse in Art” exhibit. She was also awarded “Western Artist of the Year” by the Academy of Western Artists in 2018. The Desert Caballeros and Booth Western Museum both have purchased her art for their permanent collections. Her studio is in Pine, AZ, where she lives with her husband, Dean.
