Shannon Foley Henn

From December 15, 2022 – January 30, 2023 Telluride Arts is featuring “Apres Ski,” an exhibition of works by Shannon Foley Henn. The Art Walk opening reception will be held on Thursday, December 15th, 5-8pm at Telluride Arts HQ Gallery, 220 W Colorado Avenue. Live music by Tyler Simmons, wine, and small bites will be available on site.

At a young age, Shannon was drawn to Pop art and encouraged to be creative in every aspect of life. She started honing in on drawing portraits in high school and went on to study business at Boston College with a concentration in art.

Since then, Shannon has led an eclectic life which includes organizing safaris, running a boutique hotel and starting up the world’s leading rock and roll cancer foundation. She has organized adventure concerts on Everest base camp, Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu and Mount Fuji.

In 2016, Shannon returned from a year in East Africa supporting a pediatric cancer center and moved to Winter Park, CO.

Shannon has found a way to unite her life experiences into Pop art pieces made with acrylic on canvas. Her most recent series, “Apres Ski,” is a culmination of her years working with musicians in the rock-and-roll industry, and her current home in the ski town of Winter Park, Colorado.

Shannon loves infusing a bit of rock-and-roll energy into a ski community through this quirky series.

How quirky and how much fun?
