Exploring Life and the Self
My art is a celebration of life and an analysis of my own experiences.
I am inspired by nature, space, storytelling and world building. I love creating characters, embodiments of emotion or metaphors, and exploring that in portraiture or scenes.
My work tends to drift towards the surreal and the abstract, sometimes I enjoy making simple comical illustrations of eyes or teeth and other strange objects of interest.

Hello! My name is Shannon
I am a visual artist and writer based in Brisbane, Australia.
I work from home, alternating between painting or writing or having a chronic illness flare up.
This is why much of my work revolves around the psyche, the emotional experience and other worlds, it is an escape and a study of my life, and the struggles and beauty that come with it.
My practice involves using a combination of water colours, gouache, markers, paint pens, pencils and fine pens to create a multi-layered look.
As a child I adored illustrated books, and now as an artist, I am always looking to embody child-like perspectives and outlandish concepts.
