History

Established in 1998.

My life has been an amazing ride. My creative ride started with music, and like the J. Giels song says, «I must have got lost, somewhere down the line.» For at the age of 18, I let it all go. I chalk it up to being a wild child, and tying to make a living in the «real world».

At 33 I started to get my life back when I discovered painting. Inspired and driven, I’d get up early each day to paint for a few hours before the start of my workday. This demanding schedule was worth the effort. By 1999, I was able to leave my day job, and began to do my art as a full-​time business.

At 44 I began production of the television series, Give Your Walls Some Soul. It grew from an audience of one station to over 50 stations across the country and over 10 million households, winning numerous awards.

At 46 I published my children’s book Monkey Made of Sockies. From that book came a line of licensed merchandise, the popular Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcovers that have become a world-​wide hit

Business Owner

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 like 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.

Shannon ‘s studio in Hollister, CA is open by appointment.
