Shaun Weston is a visual artist based on Gubbi Gubbi Country / Redcliffe Peninsula, whose practice centres on memory, material and the idea of home. Working across painting and drawing, he creates tactile surfaces using vintage fabrics and found materials that explore the interplay between comfort, vulnerability and transformation.

Shaun holds a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) from Queensland University of Technology, along with qualifications in graphic design. His background in both disciplines informs a visually considered practice that balances intuitive process with refined composition. 

His work has been recognised through selection in several national art prizes, including the Marie Ellis OAM Drawing Prize and The Gold Coast Art Prize. His pieces are held in public collections such as the Gold Coast University Hospital and Toowoomba Regional Gallery, as well as in private collections across Australia.

Shaun’s practice is shaped by a sensitivity to texture and memory. Through the reuse of domestic materials, including upholstery fabrics, chenille bedspreads and vintage wallpaper, he builds works that invite close inspection, holding space for layered emotion and the sensory traces of lived experience.

Ink drawings form an integral part of his process, often created through a ritual of surrender and repetition, with select pieces becoming resolved works or forming parts of larger compositions.
