Rachael Shannon

Rachael Shannon is a self-identified native Texan queeirdo. Rachael’s life adventures keep her oscillating between the roles of artist, organizer, teacher, participant, designer, business owner, project facilitator, and collaborator. Her creative involvement is motivated by the belief that art has the capacity to bring us in closer communication with ourselves and, in turn, to more authentic and infinitely spiritually expanding experiences with one another. Rachael’s practice tends to explore craft, architecture, personal mythologies, queerness, and community connection through whatever means necessary. She has a passionate reverence for the practice of art in everyday life and persists daily at keeping the dream alive. Rachael moved to Baltimore in 2011 to pursue an MFA in Community Arts.
