Bio

Shannon has been painting and drawing professionally since 1991. 

Her first regular gig out of art school was doing pastel portraits at the cosmetic counter at IMagnin in downtown San Francisco. She worked as an illustrator for such clients as Pottery Barn, The Wall Street Journal and At&t. 

Now painting full-time, she finds the natural world a tremendous inspiration. 

"I am forever grateful to the teachers who pushed us to excel in art school. They had such high standards.”

Formerly on the faculty at the Academy of Art and California College of Art in San Francisco.
