I'M COLD!

About Me


I edit video on Avid software at a local TV station here in Pittsburgh.But when I get home at night I work in the studio making art.My work has been getting a lot of attention in the last couple of years although I have yet to figure out how to make a living at it. My art has been shown twice at the Andy Warhol Museum where I received two awards, one being the Carnegie Museum of Art Purchase Award. I've also had work shown in France, Germany, Australia, and New York City. My main website is www.shawnquinlan.com.

My Interests

Art/Quiltmaking, road trips, thrift shopping, the losing battle of the middle class, kitty, and peace. WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE? SQ 2002
