Change in America (http://www.christophershannonart.com/) is a striking and realistic portrait of President-Elect Barack Obama delivering one of his most moving and impactful speeches. President Elect Obama is centered in the middle of The United States of America that unanimously elected him as their 44th President. Displayed throughout the drawing are American currency in the form of coins or change that amplify the overall message that led record numbers of American voters to the polls and united American people of every race, religion and political affiliation. This particular work being introduced here has been in secret development for a long time and is the first in a series of portraits dedicated to the historical presidency of Barack Obama. Christopher Shannon (http://www.christophershannonart.com/) captures not only the spirit of this historic event, but also the literal meaning of change.

"I appreciate the local support and I am motivated to finish the other two illustrations," says Christopher Shannon.
