Christine Conniff Sheahan, Publisher, Founder, CEO Networking® magazine
B
orn in Los Angeles,
Sheahan came to
NewYork to attend
Marymount College,
Tarrytown, New York, where
she majored in art, and began
to receive portrait
commissions from her
classmates. After graduation,
her first job was with The New
Yorker magazine as a display
designer. There, she was
asked to sketch the likenesses
of advertising executives for
promotion displays. After
leaving The New Yorker, she
worked as an illustrator and
graphic designer for such
clients as New York
Telephone, the youth market for Van Heusen, the Mennen
Company, BVD and The Citizens' Committee to Keep New York
City Clean.
Sheahan married New York journalist Denis Sheahan in
1966. Prior to independently founding Networking®
magazine in 1991, Sheahan was in partnership with her
husband. They co-founded Sheahan Publications, Inc. in
1981 with the launch of the 4-color magazine, HOUSE. As
creative director, Sheahan did the design, layout and photo
editing for the successful magazine before launching
Networking® magazine. Sheahan Publications, Inc. also
publishes the Builder & Remodeler.
Artist Christine Conniff Sheahan is also known in New
York and the Hamptons as a portrait painter, and her oil
paintings appear in many prominent private collections.
Two of Sheahan's portrait paintings were commissioned by
Susan Lucci, star of ABC's "All My Children." The original
oil paintings, one of the actress and one of her two children,
hang in Ms. Lucci's home. The painting of Ms. Lucci was
used as a model for the copy that has been seen on the
popular daytime soap. More recently, Sheahan was
commissioned by the Pentagon to paint the portrait of
General Dennis Reimer, Chief of Staff, United States Army.
The painting is part of the permanent Pentagon collection.

advocate's voice for the most important women's issues ..."
