PAINTING

Shannon is a native South Carolinian born in Iva, SC and having lived in downtown Greenville for more than 40 years. Leaving a corporate job in the late 1990s, he had an antique store on Main Street and the Westend Market for years where he began dabbling in artistic finishes on floors and walls. His art uses Italian marble plasters and mixed media to capture unusual textures, colors, and layers on canvas and panels. Shannon draws inspiration from time as an exchange student in the Flanders region of northern France and later as an English assistant in the Pyrenees of Southwestern France near Spain. Though his initial art was Italian marble plaster wall finishes in homes in the Upstate and Western North Carolina, it has evolved more to smaller, individual artworks (especially as he reaches Medicare age).
