About the Artist
Shannon Abbey
Contemporary Realism
‘The future of most bird species depends on our commitment to preserving them. Are they valuable enough for us to make the effort?’ - Jonathan Franzen
Simplicity, the beauty of the every day
I grew up in the Palouse country of Washington State where the hills look very like these Sonoma Hills of Petaluma that are now my home. I find inspiration in the overlooked, the ordinary, the things that we rarely look closely at. I continue to study the great painters, photographers and sculptors who came before me.
