Painting To Be Placed In The Famous Chateau

Shany Hagan is a single mum from Yorkshire who spends her time painting and donating her art to different charities.

After spending a lifetime with defective eyesight, she finally had eye surgery at the age of 51, and for the first time in her life, she wasn’t struggling to see. She was so grateful to the wonderful NHS for restoring her sight, and after recovering, she decided she wanted to give something back and try to raise some money. Shany wasn’t sure how she was going to do this until her son said she should start painting again. Having not picked up a paintbrush for 30 years, she gave it a go and started posting her work online.

A few weeks later, she was amazed to receive commissions from some of the biggest stars in the world. Nearly 3 years later, she has raised over £300k by donating her artwork to charities in the UK and USA. Shany uses her artistic skills to help people, painting for the NHS, celebrities and their specific charities, film covers, and royal commissions.

Shany presented Dick and Angel Strawbridge of channel 4's Escape to the Chateau fame with a painting. They said it will be placed in a very special part of their home. They also signed two more paintings for Shany to help a couple more charities in York.
