KERRI SHANNON
2010
I am a Madison native and art has always been a part of my life drawing, water color, stained glass, beading , PMC, lamp work beads, but metal-smithing now has become the main focus. I enrolled at MATC in 2005 and have furthered my education with class participation in Tucson (Rio in Motion) and Milwaukee ( Bead and Button Show) with Alan Revere, Charles Lewton-Brain and Michael Sterlin. I have also enjoyed belonging to several local art groups and displaying/selling in local and regional art shows.

Biography
I am a Madison native and since an early age have loved drawing. Jewelry (along with shoes/handbags) have always been an obsession. Jewelry fabrication became a reality when I first enrolled in Midnight Moon in Sept. 2001. I have learned and explored glass fusing and bead making, PMC, several beading techniques, and metal smithing at MATC. When the jewelry inventory began to overflow into all parts of the house, it was time to look into ways of selling it. I sell primarily through shows and consignment. I live and raise my kids in McFarland along with hubby, Cocoa and PeeWee (guinee pig).
