Shannon Kelley AtwaterOriginally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Shannon Kelley Atwater came to New Orleans in 2005
to attend Loyola University, where she received a BA in visual arts. As has been the case for
many other artists before her, the city wrapped her in it magic and she has been here ever since,
despite storms and challenges. After college, she sold her art on the fences of Jackson Square and
eventually opened a gallery space in the French Quarter to showcase more than fifty different
local artists. A member of the Mardi Gras Krewe des Fleurs, Atwater now focuses on family and
commissioned art projects. Read More Read Less
