ABOUT SHANNON’S WORK

Shannon  loves to paint  life’s “glimmers.”

Those fleeting and sometimes spontaneous moments in life where one feels peaceful, content, and happy with where they are: When they feel complete inside of their own skin, in the present moment, understanding how beautiful it is to be a breathing human. When Shannon personally experiences these moments, she sees the world differently. When she practices gratitude, she starts practicing a new art form: The art of noticing. Noticing all of the tiny blessings that her life is continually showered with.

But these moments she desires to capture in her work are not usually intentional actions like practicing gratitude - rather, they are happened upon; serendipitous, the way a butterfly may perch itself on your arm for a while, or a shooting star may pass your field of view in a silent blaze.

Shannon says, “the “glimmers” that I paint come from my life, and painting them freezes them in time, like sending a thank you note to God for the small and large blessings that life is full of if you simply stop for a second to see them.”
