Howard County ‘Pepper Mill’
Old grain elevator on the Katy Trail
18” x 24” pastel painting on board
Experience a piece of Howard County’s history through Shannon’s 18″ x 24″ pastel painting on board, aptly titled “Pepper Mill.” This artwork offers a genuine trail view of the renowned clay tile grain elevator, fondly referred to by some as the “pepper mill,” situated along the scenic Katy Trail in Missouri. Located between the towns of Rocheport and New Franklin, this architectural relic stands as a testament to the region’s agricultural heritage.

The Studio is Moving
After nearly 9 wonderful years in Artist Alley, my studio location is officially closed as of May 1, 2026. I am currently in the planning stages for a brand-new studio space. While I prepare for this next chapter, I am continuing to paint and am available for new projects.
