“I have always been drawn to art and creating art from a young age. Greatly influenced by the four classical elements – earth, air, fire and water –  I begin each piece by working with concrete, fluid acrylics and resin which allows me to create intense colors and textures that form a liquid look that makes you want to connect with and to touch. Being able to create a piece of art that expresses how I see the world and share it with others is very satisfying and inspiring.” Shelly was selected to compete in the 2015 The National Weather Center Biennale  which is an international juried exhibition presenting art’s window on the impact of weather on the human experience.
