O Grand Amor. Shannon Whitworth, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

Shannon Whitworth\u2019s love of painting and of making music go hand in hand. \u201cWhen I hear music, I see colors and often landscapes, and when I am in nature I often hear music and get ideas for songs,\u201d she says. Born in Fairfax, VA, she and her two older brothers spent some of their growing-up years in South Carolina\u2019s Low Country and on Georgia\u2019s St. Simons Island. \u201cWe played hard outside on the beaches and under those vast skies,\u201d she says. \u201cThe smells and the feel of that time stayed with me even after we moved to northern Virginia where my father was a headmaster of schools and my mother grew a beautiful garden and kept all of us in line the best she could.\u201d<\/p>\n

That love of nature and facets of her creative life fed into one another. \u201cIf I wasn\u2019t making something, or wasn\u2019t somewhere outside, I was probably writing a song,\u201d she says. \u201cI loved putting my poetry to music, and when I met the right folks those songs ended up going on records and I started going on tour. The cure for those long tours was to get outside and make art.\u201d<\/p>\n

When her son was born, she knew immediately that she wanted to leave behind life on the road and stay home with him. Whitworth lives in Brevard and is married to Woody Platt of Steep Canyon Rangers. \u201cDuring this time at home with my son, often solo while Woody was touring, I began to paint regularly,\u201d she says. Artist Ann DerGara, co-owner with husband Tom Cabe of Brevard\u2019s Red Wolf Gallery, took Whitworth under her wing. \u201cShe gave me that push I really needed to take my art to the next level,\u201d Whitworth says. \u201cI began to sell my art regularly out of Ann\u2019s gallery, and once COVID hit, the world shut down.<\/p>\n

With Woody off the road, I had even more free time to paint in my studio and I began to announce on social media when I had a new batch of paintings available on my website, and the next thing I knew I started selling my art all over the country.\u201d She also stays busy creating custom pieces for interior designers. \u201cI really love that I can make a living from home or from my barn in the backyard and still be very much involved with my son and family,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

A friend, Susan Mayfield, is another teacher and mentor in Whitworth\u2019s life. \u201cShe would have these wonderful retreats with other cool women, and she taught plein air,\u201d Whitworth says. \u201cI would always leave those classes with new techniques and a deeper understanding of color theory. Susan taught me a bunch about how to simplify what I was looking at and about using color differently than I ever had. Ann has shared with me countless tricks of the trade, including the business behind it all. I am so grateful for these women and the wisdom they share with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitworth paints in both oil and acrylic, sometimes using mixed media as well. \u201cIt is often like pulling lyrics and lines together when I paint and use mixed media,\u201d she says. \u201cOftentimes, my lyrics or blessings get written into my paintings and all of that is there beneath my final product\u2014or faintly peeking through.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an example of the complementary effect words and music have on her art, she tells of playing banjo for an event at UNC Asheville in which authors Wiley Cash and Charles Frazier were discussing their work. \u201cI was there to be the voice of Ella May Wiggins,\u201d she says. \u201cWiley captured so powerfully the life of Ella May in his novel The Last Ballad and asked if I would sing her song. In order to understand whom I was portraying, I had to read the novel, and the next thing I knew I was inspired to create some paintings from Wiley\u2019s novel as well as sing the song. Ella May got in my veins. I ended up recording Ella May\u2019s song \u201cMill Mother\u2019s Lament.\u201d The song was included in Oxford American\u2019s 2018 Southern Music Issue Sampler.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent many years as a child not knowing what I was supposed to be when I grew up,\u201d Whitworth says. \u201cOne thing I always did was follow my muse and create\u2014whether it was music, writing, pottery or painting. Life kept opening doors to creative jobs and people, and that was really how it all happened. I am a much happier and more well-rounded person when I\u2019m creating. I think we all are.\u201d<\/p>\n
