Here’s the video transcript:
Hi, I’m Shannon Grissom, I’m an award-winning artist, author, songwriter, television producer and creator of the Sock Monkey Oracle!
I started painting portraits of sock monkeys many years ago during a difficult time in my life because they made me smile.
From the beginning, I had an oracle card deck in mind for each of the 46 paintings, but many years flew by before the text would come.
The pandemic was the catalyst for finishing the deck. As galleries closed, my work went unseen. I reevaluated my priorities and I was immediately compelled to finish the deck. The inspirational text came out in about a month and the graphic design soon followed.
The resulting body of work published by Beyond Words, is a joyful tool for self-reflection.
