ABOUT ME
Zombie Colonel - Zombabes Collab
An artist, author, urban gardener, cat mom to 10 rescues, and small business owner, Shannon joined the makeup community in 2020. With a fiery passion, she’s charging ahead with content that demonstrates her multi-faceted creativity. From creative makeup looks to glam, body painting, and beyond, Shannon crafts her looks sourced from a variety of inspirations. She also crafts her own props from clay, resin, cosplay foam, polymorph plastic, and more. Operating with an ever-evolving mindset, Shannon strives to tap into new waves of creativity.
Not everyone's story has a great beginning, but Shannon believes that you have the power to create the life you deserve. As a survivor of childhood DV and SA, music, and art became a means of healing and strength. And as an adult, she's recognized that toxic relationships had to be severed in order to protect her happiness.
Shannon also feels that life is one big learning experience, and each day you have the opportunity to create the best version of yourself and your life.
