Shannon Corgan is an artist originating from the Saint Louis metro area. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with a concentration in painting from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2023. She now lives and works in Durham, NC.
Corgan's work leans figurative and has a dream-like surrealism instilled in their atmosphere. Corgan has always been inspired by comedy, poetry, and music - her artwork reflects these obsessions. Her work varies from humorous portraiture, to figurative creatures, to plein air.
Her work has been collected nationwide and shown in many galleries and exhibitions. Corgan’s first solo show, On Screen, exhibited at the Edwardsville Art Center in July of 2023. Her work has been featured in various juried exhibitions, including Annual Juried Art and Design Student Exhibitions at SIUE and the Wood River Small Works exhibition at The Wood River City Museum. She received Best of Show during the 2021 Small Works Exhibition at the Miller Art Creative Gallery in Saint Louis, MO. Her work has also been shown in the Annual Student Art and Design exhibitions at Southwestern Illinois College Schmidt Art Center and the juried group show, En Plein Air at the In Art Gallery in Edwardsville, IL.
