Whitney Ekins Shakespear
Statement & Biography

Whitney Ekins Shakespear records what she sees.

She grew up in Payson, Utah where she was taught how to work and
how to enjoy life. Being immensely blessed in education and
opportunities, art became the catalyst through which she learned many
things within and outside that discipline. Her interests outside of
art-making include being in the outdoors, running far and slow, hiking,
biking, enjoying her time as a closet musician, reading, learning,
traveling as far as funds allow, spending time with family and friends and
most especially, her sweet husband, Wyatt. They currently reside in
Ephraim, Utah.
