Shannon Garson
Shannon Garson is an Australian ceramic artist, writer and curator with a studio practice spanning 20 years that includes commissions for festivals, exhibitions at public and private galleries, and arts advocacy. Shannon began her creative life as a painter and this is evident in the intricate drawings that move across the surface of her thrown porcelain vessels. Shannon also works across a range of media using drawing, ceramics , photography and performance to investigate the relationship between human activity and the infinite variety of striations, spots, and marks found in nature.
My work
I have two parallel practices, I’m a contemporary artist and exhibit widely in Australia and abroad with recent solo exhibitions at the Noosa Regional Gallery, the Redlands Art Gallery, and recent touring exhibitions including SIXTY: The Journal of Australian Ceramics 60th Anniversary with the Australian Design Centre. I also make tableware and have work available at the Museum of Brisbane, The Powerhouse Shop, Beaver Galleries Store and online.

Public artwork, “Riverbank”
100 Duporth Avenue Maroochydore.
“Riverbank”captures the stark beauty of the Maroochy River, the rhythm of the tides and patterns of the weather, the mangroves and the Sea Eagles. Shannon was commissioned to create this steel and glass artwork that welcomes you into Avalon, luxury living on the pristine banks of the Maroochy River.
