Contemporary Art by Shannon Kay

Shannon Kay is a contemporary artist known for bold, emotionally charged work that blends craftsmanship, confidence, and connection. Creative at heart from an early age, her artistic journey began in photography and visual storytelling.

After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and years of working across photography, editing, and video, Shannon discovered her true passion for painting in 2020. That turning point marked the beginning of a rapidly growing career rooted in discipline, integrity, and artistic excellence.

Since then, Shannon has officially showcased her work at Art Basel for the past two years, alongside numerous solo exhibitions, live painting performances, private events, and fundraisers. Her work has been collected internationally and featured in both residential and commercial spaces.

Beyond the canvas, Shannon is recognized for creating immersive experiences through live painting and large-scale works, bringing energy, creativity, and connection into every environment she enters. She takes pride in her craftsmanship, approaching each piece with intention and precision, never cutting corners and always honoring the value of her work.

Giving back is central to her mission. Through her art, Shannon has contributed to charitable causes, including supporting the Mike Evans Family Foundation through donated and sold works.

At the core of her practice is a clear purpose: to create bold, unforgettable art that inspires joy, sparks connection, and leaves a lasting mark, one painting, one collector, one moment at a time.
