About
Soli Deo Gloria!
Welcome to my art world. I'm Shannon Caeley (pronounced Kay-lee), and I am obsessed with the vibrancy of colors, and the beauty of the nature that surrounds us. As I continue to practice and grow my skills, my passion for art only grows! Scroll down to read more of my story and learn why I love what I do so much.
My Story
I am perpetually in awe over God's creative majesty. With just a word He spoke all the things I find most beautiful into existence. The grace of a tulip as it bends gently in the breeze, the many textures and subtle shades of a rose, a delicate dew covered blossom on a cloudy day, a new leaf on a houseplant all speak to the awesome imagination and perfect creation of an amazing God and King. My greatest desire with my art is to reflect this glory in some way. I want to whisper some of the joy I find around me to you through the pieces I create. Although it’s not a big or important task, the ability to spread that beauty in some small way is a source of joy and purpose for me. The Lord saw fit to create me with several genetic differences which have caused my life to look much different from others for the past many years. Although there are many things I might not be able to do, due to the physical difficulties I battle, this reality has taught me much about the purpose of what I do, and I have seen so fully and repeatedly how the Lord can be glorified even in the most limiting of circumstances. Because of all this, my goal with my art has solidified into only one—Soli Deo Gloria, to God alone be the glory. It reminds me that no matter what may come, I have a purpose and a place in God's kingdom, for He asks me only to glorify Him. It brings unspeakable joy and comfort, for His will for my life and my art is perfect.
Some facts about me, for those interested.
-
There are over 50 plants in my bedroom. If you ask me about them, be prepared to hear every fact about them...I'm that obsessed.
-
I recently became interested in polymer clay as an art medium. It has been incredibly fun to explore and I've been enjoying creating my own totally unique jewelry pieces out of it among other things. The necklace I am wearing in the picture at the top of this page is one of my creations!
-
Digital art has been a huge blessing in my life due to its accessibility when I struggled the most with my physical health. I still have so much to learn with it, and it has been a joy to explore.
-
Book collecting is almost amazing as plant collecting. I've recently been rereading some childhood favorites (Ballet Shoes, Eight Cousins, What Katy Did, The Penderwicks) and it has been a joy.

A few years ago my family and I started going to a new church in the new Vanguard Presbyterian Church denomination. I praise God daily for leading us there, it has changed my view of Him and taught me so much about His amazing grace and plan for His people! Not to mention the body of believers assembled in this church are a constant witness and encouragement to me.

I used to be part of my family's band. My younger siblings are doing amazing things with the band now! Find them on youtube here.

I hesitate to admit that one of my sister's nicknames for me is InformaShannon due to the random facts I apparently often share unnecessarily and without hesitation. For example, I enjoy learning about emerging medical treatment for rare diseases, multilevel marketing scams, theology, geopolitics, history, art (of course), and countless other topics. I've decided it's finally time to own it 🤷🏼♀️

I was (proudly) homeschooled––as if that wasn't obvious...
