She has become an established and recognized abstract artist in South Africa. Her inspiration comes in many forms, including shimmering pieces of glass, metalwork, ornate engraved silver jewellery, peeling painted walls, ageing objects, various textures and graffiti. Shannon has excelled in the use of etched metal and finds this art form extremely therapeutic; creating circles, spirals, squares, triangle and roses. She makes use of smooth shimmering metal which adds a tranquil depth to her paintings. Layers of textured paste, oil paint, metal and calligraphy are the very evidence of Shannon’s individual talent, which has put her into a category of distinction.
