Shannon is widely regarded as The World's Greatest Beatles Artist. A name bestowed upon her by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool in 1998. Shannon started her Beatles artwork by entering a 1990 Beatles Art Contest in New York where she won the first prize. She began to tour Beatles festivals around the world with just an Iwata Airbrush and Electric Eraser painting at live events to showcase her Beatles artwork. Her success was immediately recognized across the globe, especially in Liverpool. Shannon received a call from Bill Heckle owner of the world famous Cavern Club asking her to provide artwork for the historic Hard Days Night Hotel project. Bill said, 'Shannon is the only artist in the world for the job.'

Shannon was soon commissioned to create more than 110 pieces of original artwork for the Hard Days Night Hotel. Just a few yards away from the world famous Cavern Club, the hotel opened it's doors in February 2008. Shannon took just 2 years to create over 100 paintings. Trevor Lynn, of HDNH said: “The artwork is absolutely stunning and provides the core theme to the hotel. We are privileged to host Shannon’s artwork at Hard Days Night Hotel and to provide fans with the opportunity to relive the history of the Beatles in a boutique hotel just a stones throw from the Cavern Club.”

Shannon’s “passion” for speed; front wheel suspended in air acrobats; and extreme slingshot heights; were all implanted early in life. Like a potent catalyst, the “drive” to create was along for the ride. Soon, Shannon was building wild machines, painting crazy schemes, and finding original ways to romance horsepower. Her “dare to be different” ideas usually found the competition choking on dust and dodging slate, or (on the street) just plain trapped in her rear view mirror.

Being a well-respected painter has earned Shannon covers on magazines and glossed over pages in some of the most read cycle books. Paint became her lifelong friend and therapeutic survival method after she went into forced early retirement. While “opening up” the throttle (WFO) on a brand new race-bike, Shannon hit a foreign object in the middle of a straightaway, went over the handlebars, and body slammed a wall of gravel at 65 miles per hour. Spectators were surprised to learn she was still alive. Two operations and sixteen months of rehabilitation brought her back to life. Although she still rides, to this day it is hard to forget “the wall of pain”.

The decision to create “Phantasy Choppers” refueled her passion for creating motorcycles once again. From top to bottom, Shannon, alone, has created the first dozen fantasy chopper motorcycles. They smack of street hugging velocity, bullet-like curves, fat bottom rear-end torch, and an awesomely bad tempered look that reflects a blatant attempt to annihilate the competition. And that is when they’re just sitting on your shelf.

When Shannon was given the idea for this particular property she thought long and hard how to make her approach. Shannon's only inspiration came from her Grandmother, Florence Mathis, and her gift to take a simple baking situation and make it fun, loving, and a most monumental occasion. She chose her Grandmother to be part of the logo. Shannon's thoughts - "Although she has only been gone for a few months…she can live on through my art."
