Shannon Grissom didn’t discover painting until she was 33, but once

she discovered this hidden passion, she was hooked and driven. By 1999, Shannon was able to leave her day job and began to create art as a full-time business.

At 46, Shannon self-published her children’s book Monkey Made of Sockies, along with a line of licensed merchandise, including a coloring book and the popular Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcovers that have been carried on tour by several LPGA pros.

Today Shannon is an award-winning artist, television producer/host, author, and songwriter, and she just launched an online creativity school called Painterly.
