Shannon Brooks-Hamilton

Shannon Brooks-Hamilton is a local artist and jewelry designer based in Eau Gallie, Florida. Deeply inspired by dragonflies as symbols of change, transformation, and renewal, she reimagines these graceful creatures through a bold, contemporary lens. Her distinctive dragonfly necklaces blend elements of modern art, indigenous symbolism, and spiritual expression—each piece a fusion of beauty, meaning, and individuality.

Working with vintage wood forms as her canvas, Shannon builds her designs through an intensive, multi-step process. She layers paint and ink in intricate patterns, then embellishes each piece with vintage buttons, hardware washers, beads, and other found treasures. A final coat of sparkly varnish seals and protects the design, giving every necklace a luminous finish. The result is wearable art that feels alive—quirky, asymmetrical, and full of character. Each piece is a meditation on transformation, crafted slowly and lovingly over weeks or even months.
