Shannon Shiang is an artist who has dedicated her life to the pursuit of creativity, compassion, and community. Shannon was born an artist, however, it was not until she experienced Burning Man that she realized the true potential of jewelry as a form of miniature sculpture where she could weave together metal, gems and and light. This community awakened in her the desire to create objects that embodied the wisdom of the universe, using the language of sacred geometry and ancient symbolism to express the harmony and balance that exist in all things.
Her desire is driven to make the world a better place and wishes that her artwork will help others discover our own inner light. She believes that by supporting one another, we can create a more peaceful world.
Her artwork has been featured in the No Spectators Exhibit at the Smithsonian Renwick, Oakland Museum of Art, Sotheby’s, Art with Me, amongst many others.
Inspired by community, she has created thousands of pieces for various burning man camps, non profits, individuals, to help shine more positivity into this world. Her next fascinations are Web 3 and up cycled works of art, integrating waste into technological works of functional beauty.
