Shannon Marie Schacht – Animal Portrait Artist is a professional wildlife and pet portrait artist. Originally from Maine, Shannon now lives in beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She has been drawing ever since she picked up her first pencil as a child, and was instantly fascinated with using charcoal pencils to sketch wildlife.
Shannon is a self-taught artist who takes pride in creating her own techniques. She pays close attention to even the smallest details that go into each painting and pet portrait.
“Animals, art and being creative are my passions in life. My goal is to show this passion & love through my work so that others can appreciate it and feel inspired.”
All Shannon’s pet portraits and wildlife artwork are ORIGINAL and done using a variety of mediums which include high quality charcoal, colored pencils, dry pastels and acrylic paint. All artwork pieces are finished with a protective varnish or sealer.
Shannon can draw any animal, not just dogs — cats, horses, pigs, birds, cows…etc.
When Shannon isn’t working hard in her studio, she is out exploring the great outdoors and all that the mountains have to offer.
You can see Shannon’s collection of paintings at Grand Teton Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming.
Shannon is now taking orders for custom pet portraits, paintings and drawing commissions.
You can order an all-charcoal drawing, for a beautiful, contemporary black & white look, or charcoal along with colored pencils for a touch of color.
Its so simple, just send her a photo of your pet or animal you would like depicted, and choose from many different size and price options.
All drawings and paintings are unframed, however framing options are available.
**Shipping offered nationwide**
These make great gifts and will add character and energy to any room!
