Rebecca Shanahan is a New South Wales-based artist and arts educator whose work has been exhibited at a number of art galleries across Australia and who has also written for a range of outlets. In 2006, Shanahan described herself as being "interested in photographic space, time and surface" [1] for an extensive research project funded by the Australian Research Council. [2]
Her photographic portrait 'untitled' was a finalist for the Art Gallery of New South Wales' 2004 Photographic Portrait Prize. [3] In 2015, judges for the Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award gave a high commendation to Shanahan's ode to the book I had but Could not Keep. [4]
Shanahan's writing has appeared in publications such as Art Guide Australia [5] and Mamamia. [6]
Shanahan had an exhibition Homelands, which she developed with fellow artist Damian Dillon. [7] An illustrated book of the exhibition is stored in the National Library of Australia. [8]
