Calendar of Events-spring 2026
Shannon's new Spring Collection of 11 new paintings will be revealed online, and available for purchase Wednesday April 8th. To get a reminder please sign up for my mailing list below. You will then have 2 days to purchase work before we head to our first big in person event of the year (see next event below) To better focus on in person sales we will be removing all original painting listings for the weekend, so you will have this little window of time before we pack up to purchase, we will then re-list all work still available on Monday the 13th.
