About Me

Meet Shannon

Shannon is a professional artist specialising in creating highly-detailed original paintings in a variety of mediums for collectors, interior spaces, and art enthusiasts. In addition to selling a variety of completed works through her online gallery, she offers exclusive, high-end commissioned paintings, each hand-painted and signed. She also shares her creative process and inspiration through her branded “Artful Shannon” social media channels, including Instagram and YouTube, to engage and inspire an audience of art lovers.

Roots of
Imagination

Shannon viewes the world through the lens of light, movement, and quiet emotional undercurrents. What began as childhood sketches gradually evolved into a lifelong study of texture, atmosphere, and visual storytelling. Her work is grounded not only in technical craft but in a deep fascination with how color can alter inner landscapes—how a single composition can calm, elevate, or transform a room.

These roots inform every painting she creates today. Each piece carries a sense of devotion to process and a respect for the meditative nature of art itself; a pause in time that invites the viewer to feel rather than simply look.

From Sketch to Story:
The Path of Creation

Every work begins long before the first stroke of pigment touches archival paper. Shannon approaches each composition as an unfolding story; one shaped by mood, intention, and the emotional rhythm of the space it is destined for. Sketches become studies of energy and light; palettes emerge slowly, like the gradual warming of a horizon.

Her process is both intuitive and disciplined: refining balance, layering depth, and allowing the piece to breathe as it develops. Whether creating an original or a commissioned work, she seeks not just to capture a subject, but to reveal a feeling; something living inside the work that the collector can experience every day.

Art with a Pulse

Great art is more than décor; it is presence. Shannon’s paintings are designed to live with their owners, not just hang before them. They carry gesture, resonance, and emotional tone: subtle shifts of light that change throughout the day, inviting the viewer into a dialogue rather than a glance.

Her collectors often describe her pieces as “quiet companions,” grounding a room with a sense of clarity, warmth, or contemplative calm. Each work holds its own kind of pulse; a visual signature that is felt as much as it is seen.

Testimonials

“I asked Shannon to paint an original “lost sheep” painting of Jesus on the beach in the Caribbean. She perfectly captured the mood I wanted. It’s the first thing you see when you walk in our home. Thank you, Shannon!”

“This is one of my favorite views along the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. I sent Shannon a photo and she painted this watercolor with great precision. My husband thought it was an oil because of all the fine details. We love it!”

“I asked Shannon to paint the Wellsville Mountain Range. The photo I gave her was taken in Wintertime but I wanted it done as it appears in Autumn. She beautifully adapted to my request. My husband Mark loved the surprise for Christmas. Well Done!”

Stacey G.

“When we asked Shannon to paint thousands of snow geese flying through the air, she was excited about the challenge and did a beautiful job! It’s a relatively large painting (36″ x 48″) and we proudly have it hanging in our family room. Thank you Shannon!”

“This was the home I grew up in which, sadly, is not in our family anymore. Thank you, Shannon, for preserving our family memories by capturing the home so well with watercolor. We treasure it!”
