Shannon Foley Henn
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 led several adventures to Everest base camp, climbed Kilimanjaro three times, hosted concerts atop Machu Picchu and Mt Fuji, and kayaked the Napali Coast of Kauai.
At a young age Shannon was enamored by pop art and was encouraged to be creative in every aspect of life. She earned a scholarship to the Moore College of Art & Design to attend courses while still in high school and went on to study business at Boston College with a concentration in art.
She started her career in the corporate world as a brand director which led her around the globe and landed her in Kenya working with the oldest safari company in East Africa. Under the original guidance of the best safari guides in the world, Shannon began to consult on global adventures. Her experience led her to produce the first concert on Everest Basecamp for The Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHS). While leading extreme fundraisers for LHS around the world and searching for bone marrow donors at concerts and festivals, Shannon met Jeremy Henn. Jeremy, having been his brothers life-saving bone marrow donor, joined Shannon in her global pursuit to bring cancer care around the world. In 2016, they 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 of 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. She loves infusing a bit of rock n roll energy into the ski community through this quirky series.
