Shannon is a native of Canada, residing in Alberta where traditional bridle horse culture is strong. Embracing this culture led to her expertise as a horsewoman through the years. As an artist, she applies discipline with ability and captures experiences in depth and detail with brush strokes. She is skilled in the saddle and at the easel.

Shannon's style is intense and dramatic. Her images portray the working stock horse and pay tribute to working horsemen following traditions influenced by early Mexican vaqueros in California. She helps preserve true western culture and celebrates the lifestyle of buckaroos in the Great Basin region, north into Canada. Shannon presents Western Heritage Defined.
