Shamona Stokes

Jersey City, NJ | @shamstoked

Shamona Stokes (b. 1980) is a New Jersey-born artist who works out of her studio at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY (2002). Her sculptures and mixed media paintings explore the imaginary figures & landscapes of the subconscious. In 2017, Shamona exhibited her work for the first time as one of the regional semi-finalists in the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series. She’s exhibited at The Untitled Space (NYC), at art fairs like SCOPE (Art Basel Miami) and Superfine! (NYC), and has also worked on large-scale installations–most recently a shrine dedicated to the human imagination–shown at the Fort Worth Community Art Center in Texas. Her work has been featured in media outlets like New York Magazine’s “The Cut”, The Jealous Curator, ArtSlant, and Create! Magazine. Her most recent project, “Horn of Plenty”, a book about the inner child that she wrote & illustrated, is due out this Fall.

Shamona’s body of work is a product of a meditation practice which began in 2016. Prior to that, she hadn’t made any artwork in over 16 years!
