Artist Resident: Shannon Whitworth

THERE IS MAGIC TO BE FOUND in the mountains of North Carolina, and if you can’t go there to find it, Shannon Whitworth’s art and music will bring it to you. “My art is how I see the world and my music is how I hear it,” says Whitworth. There is plenty for her to see and hear in western North Carolina, where she lives outside of Brevard with her husband, Woody Platt of the Grammy award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers, and their young son. Here, Whitworth is grounded in a landscape that has become synonymous with her art. But Whitworth has not always lived in the mountains. Born in Fairfax, Virginia, her restless nature prompted her to head for the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Here, the pace of life allowed saltwater to seep into her blood, which is apparent in the coastal themes present in her work, nearly all of it featuring the waters that connect the ocean to her beloved mountains. While Whitworth grew up wielding a paintbrush in one hand, she wielded a guitar in the other. In the early 2000s, she toured and recorded with the iconic bluegrass band The Biscuit Burners. She’s been profiled in Garden & Gun and other publications, written and recorded for companies like Belk, and had her music embraced by brands like REI and Starbucks. For Whitworth, music and painting are nearly inseparable. Her paintings have found homes with a stable of interior designers across the South, and her work has been featured in galleries and in private collections belonging to the likes of Edie Brickell and Paul Simon. “When I first began painting, all of my art was coastal, but after settling into the land here and having our son, I just started seeing this landscape so clearly, and it’s reflected in my work. I’m living it,” Whitworth says. “People always tease me about believing in magic, but I always tell them, ‘You’ll believe inmagic when it finds you.’”
