WELCOME TO MY CREATIVE OUTPOST
Art, Stories & Other Creative Mischief
Following my heart and my (short) attention span from one hobby to the next.
Watercolor, wood burning, mixed media, books, recipes and whatever else I’ve gotten myself into lately.
MADE BY HAND
Art, Photography & Other Good Stuff
Watercolor, photography, wood burning & whatever I decide to try next.
My work moves between watercolor, pyrography, photography, and mixed media, with a healthy amount of experimentation along the way.

SO, WHO’S MAKING ALL THIS STUFF?
Hi, I’m Shannon.
Artist. Author. Retired clown. (Seriously.)
I’m a Florida native living in Colorado, an artist and author, and — yes — a retired clown.
I make watercolor and wood-burned art, write books about people getting themselves into trouble, cook things worth writing down, and have never been particularly good at sticking to one creative medium.
This site is where all of that lives.
