Hello! I’m Shannon—a full-time mom and part-time artist living in Washington with my husband, two little boys, and fuzzy red dog.

Art was my first real passion as a kid. I discovered charcoal and pastel in high school and I was hooked. When I wasn’t buried in a book, I was making art. I dreamed of attending an art college. Instead, I took what I deemed to be a more practical route at the time—studying English and becoming a technical writer.

I had my first boy shortly before the pandemic and decided to step away from my tech writing career to stay home with my baby. The anxiety that came with being a first-time mom during a global pandemic pushed me to draw and paint again, and I could never have imagined where that would lead.
