 Shannon
Grissom, a California native, originally expressed her creative
self through music. Moved to combine her artistic affinity
with her passion for color, she began oil painting in 1992.
Inspired and driven, she rose early each day to paint.
These painting sessions were completed before the start of her
workday. This demanding schedule was worth the effort.
By 1999, she was able to leave her day job to become a
professional artist.
Today,
Shannon is an award-winning artist. She has won awards for
both her painting and her television series, "Give Your Walls
Some Soul". Additionally, she was a nominee for the ARTV
Awards, the first ever academy awards for visual artists.
Her first children's book, Monkey Made of Sockies,
received the Parent-to-Parent Adding Wisdom Award, the only
award program to ever be honored by Disney! Recently, the
Monkey Made of Sockies character has been licensed on
golf club headcovers. Shannon is in collections all over
the globe. She recently released her first music CD,
Hot Coffee, Red Lipstick.
Shannon maintains a studio in
Hollister, CA, USA. |
