They hold a BFA in Studio Art & Art History from Concordia University and a diploma in Graphic Design from CNA. They currently serve on the Fogfest and Eastern Edge ARC Boards of Directors and chair the EE Main Gallery Committee. Shan is primarily an illustrator and compulsive photographer, but also works in various media, including painting, design, stop-motion animation, sound, and textiles. Their artistic output confronts themes of identity, bodily otherness, environmentalism, sickness, and folklore. They often seek out creative ways to make aesthetically compelling works that inspire a level of relatability as well as discomfort.
