A jeweler and a connector.

The work is about people.

She builds communities. As an artist, she believes art and entertainment can move people toward real change — and that the need has rarely been greater, in a moment when AI and feeds full of "perfect" faces leave so many feeling they fall short. Her answer is the opposite of all that: work made by hand, in person, alongside other artists.

The network runs deep and wide — live painters, circus performers, magicians, fire performers, tarot readers, art cars, photographers, sound healers, musicians, producers and DJs, set and stage designers, stylists, milliners and fashion designers, even snake charmers. A two-story sculpture in metal or wood, a bespoke ring that moves with gold, diamonds and jewels, a neon piece set to spoken word, lighting and sound, a commission made just for you — if you can picture it, Shannon and her friends can make it real.

We could all use a little more wonder and surprise in our lives — experiences built with intention, for the connections and growth they spark. Shannon has co-produced and curated events of every kind: panel discussions, gallery shows, immersive experiences, fashion collectives, and philanthropic evenings — across New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, and Austin, in partnership with Art With Me, Sponstar, and Dusty Diamonds Collective, at moments like Art Basel Miami, New York Tech Week, and SXSW.
