• Plein Heir has evolved from a decorative art business into a Creative Studio encompassing all of my color and creative endeavors. A twist on the French phrase, Plein Air, meaning to paint outside, Plein Heir (as in heirlooms) focuses on finding new perspective for timeless themes and storytelling that resonate with our connective nature.

    I've been fortunate to enjoy a commission for artwork by Carlos Santana Tone Management, hosting on of DIY Channel's top rated makeover series, Fresh Coat, becoming the Creative, Brand, and Color Marketing Director at Kelly-Moore where I took the regional brand to national with an online shop and color selection product innovations for retail consumers.

  • Most recently, I'm working with international companies and agencies on color naming projects and other unique product development projects.

    My work has been featured In Style, GQ, Elle Decor, Sunset, plus several online e-zines.

    All of this opportunity and exploration comes from my artistic passion designing home textile accessories and re-imagining vintage furnishings incorporating images of my original artwork. Making art allows me to push boundaries, operate from an intuitive center, and bring a collaborative and innovative spirit to every project I'm fortunate enough to develop.

I first connected with Shannon by recommendation to design a color scheme for a 74-home development. She nailed it! And because she combines her design and art prowess with hosting television programs, Shannon was the perfect fit to host a weekly online video series I created for Southern Living Magazine. Shannon was consistently on her game as our host and I quickly learned that she can do just about everything...and fantastically at that!

We have been fortunate to work with Shannon Kaye for over 20 years and on multiple projects ranging from simple bathroom remodels, kitchen design, paint consult, to designing a home and all details involved. Aside from her eye for style and ability to create, she excels at listening to your needs, truly hearing you then applying her client's needs to any design project. In our home we refer to her as "Shannon Fabulous" as she is truly fabulous!

I first hired Shannon to consult on color and apply a custom antiquing on the walls of my home then hired her several more times over a 15-month period to hand paint several rooms. Her work at my home was showcased in several local newspapers. Shannon has impeccable taste an eye for color and design, she is by far the most creative and talented designer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Shannon is a consummate professional, I highly recommend her.
