Shannon O’Neill is a contemporary Australian artist based in Clarence Gardens, South Australia. Her practice explores the relationship between emotion, energy, and presence, translating the unseen aspects of experience into visual form.

Through bold brushstrokes and an intuitive use of colour, Shannon captures the movement and vitality that exist within all things. Her work invites viewers to look beyond the surface and engage with the subtle layers of feeling and perception that inform both the artwork and the act of viewing.

First recognised for her expressive paintings, Shannon translated her art into a distinctive jewellery line, which evolved alongside her work, and she now focuses once again on painting. While painting remains at the heart of her practice, she does not want to limit her expression to one medium and looks forward to exploring other forms in future collections, including clay, glass, and photography, using each as a potential vessel for investigating energy, emotion, and connection.

Her current body of work, Hidden in Plain Sight, marks a mature evolution in palette and composition, embracing refined tonal harmonies and expressive depth. Shannon’s art reflects an ongoing inquiry into what is felt but not seen, seeking to make the invisible tangible through form, texture, and colour.
