Shane Reiswig
Shane’s journey began in Juneau Alaska where he was raised and then
became a commercial fisherman for much of his life. His love for the
water brought many sailing trips up and down the Inside Passage from
Juneau to Seattle. He currently holds a Coast Guard Masters License
and is an avid sailor. Shane’s journey into the arts began at a young
age and continued into college, at the Art Institute of Seattle and
then on to The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena to receive his
BFA, where his love for landscapes and fish became his drive and focus
in his painting. His works have also included portraits such as a
portrait for the Lt. Governor of Alaska and painted maps driven once
again for his love of the ocean and surrounding land.
His current works bringing him in to the future include a series of
paintings for a Northwest chain of seafood restaurants and two new
prints beginning a new series on boats. His clients include The Tacoma
Art Museum, Columbia Sportswear, The Wall Street Journal, America West
Airlines, UPS, Ocean Realm Magazine, Fly Rod and Reel Magazine, Sail
Magazine, Red Lobster Restaurants, McGraw Hill and many more. Shane’s
work can be found at Taku Graphics Publishing in Juneau, Alaska where
his prints and cards are sold throughout the northwest and the U.S.
You can find Shane currently living in Seattle with his wife Heidi and
their three children.
Shane Reiswig’s fascination with the ocean and all things aquatic is
