I’ve restarted my newsletter under the title INKY. Subscribe here if you’d like to receive a letter from me, just once a month. No tiers, zero dollars.


Several monotypes pinned up on a white studio wall. Most are combinations of black, white, magenta, green, and violet in abstract arrangements, but a few on the bottom row are yellow, orange, and green and lean botanical in subject matter. A hand-written label under the closest print at the right reads Shanna Compton in black marker.

Hello, friends. Welcome to INKY.

Once a month, I’ll be offering this newsletter as a kind of virtual studio visit. I’ll share what I’m working on, what’s inspiring me (exhibition reviews & reading notes), what’s keeping me going. 

And I’d love to hear from you too! Please reply if you feel so moved. I’m craving community, as an antidote to the rough handling we’re all experiencing/witnessing/protesting right now.

I’m opening my door. Welcome. 

—Shanna
