Career Summary
I have been fascinated by the emotive power of art all my life and have produced artwork in media ranging from photography to anodized metals. All of my work has had a basis in the photographic arts.
I was a painting major at Goucher College, studying with Hilton Brown, and at the Maryland Institute College of Art, I studied photography with Richard Jaquish.
In my early studio practice, I referenced photographs to create mixed media drawings that toured several Japanese museums.

While strongly believing that the key to social change is compassionate relationships that lead to genuine support, Shannon Finnell’s work attempts to embody that lesson through the exploration and deconstruction of supportive gestures and moments. Pulling from her BA in Studio Art and Peace Studies from Goucher College in Baltimore, MD, the marriage of visual art and questioning oppressive social structures is where Finnell finds inspiration for her work.
