Artist's Reflection Spring 2026
I was honored to be entrusted with the responsibility of immortalizing "Sally " in her element for Bob and Janell Graber. Portraying such a distinguished mare was a responsibility I carried with great respect. Horses like Sally—true heart horses—become an enduring part of the family.
Over the course of her remarkable career, Sally distinguished herself in both the non-pro and open arenas, performing as a partner to Meredith Graber as well as alongside renowned horsemen Bobby Lewis and Chris Dawson. Now retired, this painting was created to honor the strength, grace, and enduring spirit of a once-in-a-lifetime mare.

Created in support of the National Reined Cow Horse Association Foundation, Shannon’s new original still-life painting honors the traditions that define the reined cow horse.
Ol’ Visalia reflects the craftsmanship and working traditions of the California vaquero, where the Visalia saddle became a lasting symbol of disciplined horsemanship and the culture that shaped today’s reined cow horse. Shannon’s painting honors the heritage and horsemanship that NRCHA members continue to carry forward today
