Ali Shannon
Biography
For many years Ali Shannon has combined jewellery making with working as a ski instructor/ coach - an unusual combination of careers, which has allowed her to travel and to live in both North America and in New Zealand. From 2001 to 2004 she lived and worked in a co-operative art centre in Ashland, Oregon. She now works from her home studio on the southern shores of Lake Taupo. Her work is featured and sold in various galleries in New Zealand and the USA.
Ali started making jewellery in the 1980s. Her work has evolved from brightly painted wood earrings and brooches to her current pieces made primarily from sterling silver and rolled gold. She also incorporates copper and brass, paua and pink mussel shell, pounamu, pearls and a variety of semiprecious stones in her work. All her pieces are individually handcrafted. No two are exactly alike.
