Somewhere beneath the noise…your true self is still there.
Artist • Writer • Storyteller
I create books, illustrated reflections, spoken word experiences, gatherings, retreats, and creative spaces that help people reconnect to their inner rhythm, creativity, wonder, and authentic expression.
Because your life has a sound.
And when you learn how to truly listen again, clarity, joy, peace, beauty, and self-trust begin to return naturally.
Not by becoming someone new.
But by remembering who you’ve been all along.
I’m currently creating A Life That Lets Me Breathe - an illustrated collection of poetic reflections on creativity, authenticity, wonder, nervous system healing, nature, and the quiet return to ourselves.
Part poetry collection.
Part visual storytelling.
Part sanctuary.
Because I no longer want to build a life that looks beautiful from the outside while leaving no room for the soul to breathe.
And maybe you don’t either.
overwhelmed by the noise
creatively disconnected
emotionally exhausted
stuck in overthinking
in transition
burned out from performing
or quietly longing for a slower, more meaningful way of living…
Nothing is wrong with you.
You may simply be longing to return to your own rhythm.
This is a space for beauty, storytelling, creativity, reflection, nature, wonder, and remembering.
A place to soften. To breathe. To create. To reconnect to yourself again.
Through watercolor, poetry, storytelling, illustration, and intuitive creating, I explore the beauty of being fully alive.
My work is inspired by: wildflowers, music, motherhood, emotion, imagination, wonder, healing, creativity, nature, and the quiet magic woven through ordinary life.
Current and emerging projects include:
illustrated poetry books
children’s book illustration
spoken word storytelling
affirmation decks
creative collaborations
visual storytelling experiences &
nature-inspired reflections
Inspired by themes from A Life That Lets Me Breathe, these immersive experiences weave together storytelling, spoken word, creativity, reflection, embodiment, wonder, and authentic human connection.
From intimate circles to retreats, workshops, and soulful gatherings, these experiences are designed to help people slow down, reconnect, create, and remember what truly matters.
Less performance. More presence. More honesty. More aliveness.
While my creative work is now the heart of what I share, I continue to offer a small number of private mentorship sessions for those navigating creativity, transition, authenticity, emotional overwhelm, or the desire to build a life that feels more aligned and alive.
These sessions are intuitive, grounding, reflective, and deeply human.
Available in limited seasonal openings.
Soulful tools designed to help you reconnect to yourself through reflection, creativity, wonder, and intention.
Including:
Your True Nature affirmation deck
guided meditations on Insight Timer
creative rituals
future journals and illustrated works
I’m currently building a slower, more intentional creative life centered around books, storytelling, art, nature, beauty, and meaningful human connection.
In the years ahead, I dream of:
a colorful traveling creative studio,
books carried across the country,
pop-up art gatherings in beautiful places, storytelling under the stars,
creative retreats rooted in nature,
and a sanctuary home and studio designed for beauty, family, creativity, and rest.
This isn’t simply a career path for me. It’s a way of living.
peace beneath overthinking
creativity beneath perfectionism
wonder beneath exhaustion
clarity beneath confusion
authenticity beneath performance
belonging beneath loneliness
joy beneath survival
And often, somewhere along the way…they begin to breathe again.
"It's difficult for me to put into words what I got from this experience with you, but holy macaroni. I did not see you coming. Every fiber of my being heard, felt and resonated with the frequency you delicately wove for me. It was a mirror that caused me to acknowledge my light and felt my heart expanding into the truth of me. There was something so deeply profound about the mix of human design and channeling of my higher self and my guides. It satisfied my energy, practical science self, but also calmed my spirit. I wrote down almost every word you shared. It's like I could finally make sense of all the fragmented pieces of me as one cohesive unit. I feel my direction and purpose in a new level. Thank you for being you and helping me learn to be me. You're a gift."
"OMG. You never cease to amaze me. I received so much, so much from this experience, from you. That was crazy accurate - my human design intertwined with your guidance, the kind only Shannon gives after a life working towards these understandings. Beautiful and powerful. Truly. There were parts where the sound of your voice powerfully spoke directly to my soul, "remembrance, clarity, truth, peace, love..." It's necessary to listen again, and then a few more times. There is so much in it. Thank you so much, Shannon. This is a wonderful gift."
I’m an artist, writer, storyteller, and creator devoted to living - and creating - in a way that allows the soul to breathe.
For over two decades, I’ve explored creativity, intuition, embodiment, storytelling, wonder, nature, and the healing power of authentic expression.
My work now lives through:
books, illustration, spoken word, creative gatherings, storytelling, art,
retreats, and everyday moments of beauty and connection.
I believe creativity is part of our nature. I believe beauty matters. I believe wonder can heal.
And I believe when people feel safe enough to slow down, soften, and truly listen…they begin to remember who they are.
You are creative.
You are intuitive.
You are allowed to live a life that lets you breathe.
Reflections on creativity, storytelling, wonder, beauty, nature, authenticity, and remembering your inner rhythm.
