, United StatesSHANNON: "Creativity is a gift that should be shared with the world."
Her story: Shannon failed art in high school because she refused to paste macaroni on poster board and sprinkle it with glitter. She, instead, moved to the back of the class room where she studied the Old Masters ... and her favorite artist, Norman Rockwell. Her style is her own but she credits it to her love of black and white glamor photos of the old movie stars and her studies of "the greats". She explained,"After my high school teacher dismissed me as a failure I knew I was in trouble. I had scholarships lined up and schools anticipated my arrival. I can not understand why my teacher couldn't embrace her student's talent. Jealousy is a dangerous coat of armor."
Shannon looks at her talent as a wonderful "gift". She doesn't understand where it comes from and doesn't try anymore. She just ... paints.
Shannon gets her inspiration from everything and her drive to be a better artist/person from her other half and best friend, Christine.
