Artisan Spotlight: The Whimsical & Heritage-Inspired World of Shannon Johnson
In today’s Artist Spotlight video, we are featuring the incredibly talented Shannon Johnson of Shannon Johnson Artistry.
Shannon is a familiar face around the ART HUB as both a vendor on Artisan’s Lane and a deeply committed Board member. But, in this new short feature, she takes us into her creative process—sharing how her work evolved from her college days to her current studio practice.
From Gnomes to Heritage Art
Whether you know her for her signature ceramic and polymer gnomes or her intricate jewelry or her stunning paintings, Shannon’s work is a masterclass in variety. During the video, she shares:
How slip-casting broken gnome figures at the ART HUB led to an army of charming, handcrafted gnomes in all shapes and sizes.
A personal journey into her heritage, where she uses Métis dot art to explore her history and honor her family’s connection to music and the fiddle.
A quick look at her beautiful mugs, nativity scenes, and beaded accessories.
Where to Find Her
If the video inspires you to see her work in person (and we know it will!), you can find Shannon’s pieces at the Art Hub in Peace River (10018 101 Street) during their regular hours: Thursday through Saturday, 1–5 p.m. You can also catch her at the Peace River Farmers Market on select weekends.
