Shannon Willow is an award-winning artist, author, and creative strategist who uses art that deeply supports community connect, communicate, and build culture that has lasting impact.

​

For nearly forty years, Shannon has made art as a sacred relationship with the Earth and community. She brings that vision to corporate team building, designing hands-on creative experiences that break down barriers, spark conversations, foster positivity, courage, and belonging. With a deep understanding of diversity and inclusion, she has guided thousands of participants, from corporate executives and healthcare teams to at-risk youth, through collaborative art projects across Metro Atlanta and nationwide.

​

Shannon believes in the power of public art to create connection. Her murals appear throughout Metro Atlanta and have been featured on multiple Netflix series. Her sculptures and native pollinator meadow spaces bring neighbors together around shared, living places, and stewardship of the land. She is the visionary behind the Compassion Corridor, the placemaking efforts on the bike path in Dekalb County, GA. Her work has been trusted by and collaborated with the Turner Foundation, Healthcare organizations, the United Way, The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, Alternate ROOTS, Habitat for Humanity, and the City of Clarkston.

​

Based in Clarkston, Georgia, Shannon holds a BFA from Ball State University and is a certified Master Naturalist. She is an advanced practitioner of Peruvian shamanism and Ayni, or sacred reciprocity. Collaboration is the heart of all of Shannon Willow’s creative offerings.
