ABOUT
Self-taught ink artist based in Yzerfontein, South Africa.
​
I create monochrome drawings at a larger scale, exploring organic forms, botanical rhythms, and geometric structures through the tactile language of line. My work begins intuitively—gestural marks on paper that evolve into layered compositions balancing order and spontaneity. Black and white sharpens focus on texture, flow, and negative space, revealing quiet complexity without color's distraction.​​
​
"In a world increasingly driven by technology, I find myself embracing the tactile more and more. Through the deliberate act of drawing with pen and ink, I have found a connection and love of working with my hands, physically creating, embracing imperfections and taking up time. I have fallen in love with creating works that celebrate presence, process, play, and the deep connection formed when art, no matter what kind, is shared and truly appreciated."
— Shanna Lindinger
This practice grew from a career pivot after redundancy at 42, rediscovering drawing as a meditative anchor amid West Coast skies and Cederberg memories. Pieces like Mapping Cloudy Terrain (selected for Site:Brooklyn's In Black and White, 2025–26) or Lines Etched (Biafarin Awards 2025) map personal terrain—cloud whimsy, etched repetitions—inviting viewers to slow down, trace patterns, and find their own stillness.​
