About the Artist

Art is the divine language. It’s how I speak to the world, and how the world speaks back to me. For over thirty years, I worked as a hairstylist, crafting beauty through shape, light, and movement. When the world went silent during the pandemic, that chapter closed, and another began. I turned my creative hands toward painting, sculpture, and design, and discovered that the art I’d been chasing all along was waiting for me inside the quiet. My work blends imagination and emotion, science fiction and soul. Each piece is a conversation between what we dream and what we dare to create. I want collectors to feel a spark — that same thrill of discovery I feel when a new idea wakes me up at 2 A.M. and refuses to let go. Through projects like Atomic Joe and Just The Artists, I’m building worlds where creativity isn’t just displayed, it’s lived in. I believe art should be experienced in every form, in homes, in communities, in the rhythm of daily life. Every painting, every mug, every idea that leaves my studio carries one message:  Everything is possible when it’s free from hate. Welcome to my world. Jody Shannon
