Shannon is an Irish illustrator, avid doodler, and tea drinker.

As a kid, she wandered around the countryside making up stories and drawing on any available surface. As an adult, she basically does the same thing but sometimes gets paid for it.

She graduated from Limerick School of Art and Design with a BA(Hons) in Animation and Motion Design and is currently spending her days making art and picture books.

‘Over the Red-Brick Chimney’ - Written by Una Leavy and published in 2024, by The O’Brien Press. It follows Little Goose on her migration, the challenges she faces and the friends she makes along the way. It was shortlisted for the 2024 Irish Book Awards.

‘Evie’s Christmas Wishes’ - Her debut illustrated book, written by Siobhan Parkinson and published by Little Island Books was shortlisted for the 2021 Irish Book Awards. It tells the story of Evie and her family and the little (very Irish) traditions they go through in the run-up to Christmas day.
