About | Shannon's Creative Work

About

“Live your passions, and live them well!”

Having been a freelance writer, artist, photographer, and teacher for many years, you can probably see that I love being creative. By day, I am an art teacher to school children.

Painting abstracts using acrylic paints, photo art manipulation (artography!), writing, film, and just about anything creative is what I do. Creativity nurtures my soul.

This is one of the only remaining prints I have left from my high school film days. The original is scratched, so I did have to do some photo editing on this scan to fix it up a bit.

You are a busy gal Shannon! I like that you call photo manipulation artography. And how true that creativity keeps us alive. I look forward to getting to know you! Margie

  Thanks! I haven’t been doing much artography lately. So many artistic projects… so little time. 🙂
