HOME ABOUT GALLERY SHOWS CONTACT

Shannon is a native Albertan, who presently resides in Cochrane, Alberta with her husband Bruce and two sons, Justin and Jordan. Inspiration for her artwork comes from the love of horses, love of life, God's creation and taking pride in our western heritage. She works mostly in oils, graphite, and something new that has grabbed her imagination, colored pencil on sand paper.

Shannon has completed several private commissions. Her chuckwagon piece of the late Richard Cosgrove is in BP Amoco's Corporate Collection and was used to commemorate Amoco's 50th Anniversary.

Shannon has exhibited several pencil/graphite drawings at the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede Western Showcase and won numerous awards which include: First in Class, First in Section, The Judge's Merit Award and the Master's Award. Her work has been juried into the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede Western Art Auctions and selected to be in the Stampeder's Western Art Gallery.
