Christine Conniff Sheahan, Publisher, Founder, CEO Networking Magazine

Born in Los Angeles, Ms. Sheahan came to New York 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.

Ms. Sheahan married New York journalist Denis Sheahan in 1966. Prior to independently founding Networking magazine in 1991, Ms. 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, Ms. 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 Ms. 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, Ms. Sheahan was commissioned by the Pentagon to paint the portrait of General Dennis Reimer, Chief of Staff, United States Army. The painting, which is part of the permanent Pentagon collection, was unveiled on June 20, 1999.
