This is a portrait of my Grandmother Maria as a child. (Her name was pronounced like Mariah, the wind.) I always thought she had such a beautiful given name but she didn’t like it, and preferred to be addressed as Mickey.
Our Grandmother had a deep love for us and I feel it each time I paint her portrait.
Hmmm, time to do another one…

Shannon Grissom Artist Bio
Shannon Grissom has been called the Sock Monkey Lady. Maybe that’s because Shannon has a line of Sock Monkey golf club headcovers that are carried on tour by six LPGA pros. But that’s only one color in her crayon box, and Shannon likes to create with them all. The rest of the time, Shannon is an artist, television producer/host, songwriter, author and goofball who carries her camera with her everywhere she goes.
