About Shaunia

I am a visual artist from Kingston, Jamaica and I studied illustration, graphic design and photography at a Visual and Performing Arts College in my home country. I am now pursuing a career in screenwriting. In art college my appreciation for cinematography heightened while studying photography. Coupled with a love for stories, story telling and an active imagination, this led me to want to tell stories through film, from my imagination to moving photography.
