Hi Shannon and welcome to the forums!

[Julia]

@ShannonB Oh! that's very nice of you! Unlike many others here, I am an amateur and a beginner. Your compliment means a lot to me!

[ShannonB]

@theprairiefox Hey, great to meet you! And thank you so much! I'll be sure to check out your Instagram

[ShannonB]

@Sas Hey Sas! Thank you, it's great to see you here!

[ShannonB]

@Julia You're definitely heading in the right direction though, your work is very good for someone who calls themselves a beginner

[Sas]

@ShannonB Aww thank you Shannon! Same to you!

Welcome Shannon! You have some good perspective in the pieces you shared, and I like your color style.

Hi Shannon, your work is awesome. Have you checked out the "childrens writer's and artist's yearbook" it has a directory in it for publishers in the UK some in Ireland too geared towards children's books. It also has a bunch of other info and Agents contact details too.

Shannon! Welcome! I have been following you on Instagram for a while. I missed your introduction here, else I would’ve said hi already. I couldn’t believe it when you said you are a beginner, I had to go back and check your follower count . It’s WAY bigger than mine.
You’re style is very inspiring to me. I have no doubt that you will not consider yourself a beginner for much longer.
We are in different parts of the globe, but I joined the forum for the same reason. I needed art friends. And I found many here. It is a warm happy place for artists who are serious about their goals. I am your fan, but I will be your art friend too.

@RHirsch Hi Rebecca, great to meet you and thank you so much! Perspective is my nemesis so I've been working on improving it! Great to see some of your work too, it's so sweet and whimsical
