About Shannon

Watercolor Illustrator, Author & Voice Actress

I’m a passionate illustrator, storyteller, and comic artist, originally from sunny Southern California. These days, you’ll find me in the misty hills of the Lake District, UK, where I’m creating art and crafting stories.

My current focus is on my watercolor graphic novel Tempest Red, a dark fantasy epic that blends rich, hand-painted visuals with themes of redemption, ancient magic, and political intrigue. I’m also working on the Top Shelf Rolls series of children’s books, which bring together whimsical watercolor illustrations and fun, family-friendly recipes. In addition, I’m contributing to other exciting comics and anthologies.

My work draws from a diverse range of influences that keep me inspired and constantly evolving as an artist. Ancient mythology and world cultures, both past and present, are a big part of my creative process, breathing life into the stories I tell. I’m also deeply inspired by fantasy worlds and the immersive storytelling found in video games. Artists like Yoshitaka Amano, with his dreamlike, ethereal style, and Alphonse Mucha, whose flowing Art Nouveau designs captivate me, have shaped much of my visual style. Whether I’m working on dark fantasy comics or whimsical children’s books, these influences are always at the heart of what I create.
