DANIEL BLUE: MEET SHANNON EAKINS >>>
Shannon Eakins is an artist of many forms. Pictured here at Fulcrum Gallery on Martin Luther King Jr. Way on Hilltop, Shannon's work is vast and often vaguely satirical. From glass to embroidery, her work is often animal themed and most often extremely approachable.
I first met her and her husband wondering around the streets of Tacoma. They had purchased a condo downtown and were curious why they didn't see very many people on the streets. I told them that we hid in the sewers until full moons. I'm pretty sure that's why they decided to stay.
Shannon says, "I'm more of a behind the scenes person," but she seems to shine brightly at most every event we encounter each other. I always find myself in conversations with her about the psychology of animals; and how they may or may not be an allegory about mankind. She thinks on levels outside of anything you will find on television, unless you are up late and watching the public access channel.
She works very hard to keep things even and natural, and works very hard at most everything she sets her hands to.
Stop by M-Space and grab some lessons from her. Her patient demeanor will make you feel like Chahoolie himself.
