"Blueberry Sail" - Shannon Whitworth

24" x 36" Original Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas

Painter and musician Shannon Whitworth says “My art is how I see the world and my music is how I hear it.” In the early 2000s, Whitworth shared lead vocals and played guitar and banjo with the iconic bluegrass band The Biscuit Burners. After two critically acclaimed albums with the group, Whitworth released three solo albums and one comprised of duets. In her visual art, much of which focuses on water, rivers run like arteries, somber skies loom like silent sentinels, and marshes and streams connect the ocean to her beloved mountains. She’s been profiled in Garden & Gun and other publications and had her music embraced by REI and Starbucks. Her paintings are a favorite of southern interior designers and have been displayed in galleries as well as private collections belonging to fellow musicians, Paul Simon and Edie Brickell.
