What's New?
Shelley is featuring two collections. The first is her Italy series of paintings featuring Italy, celebrating La Dolce Vita, which means "sweet life" in Italian. And no one lives the sweet life quite like the people of Italy!
Shelley first traveled to Italy in 2010 and spent 3 weeks meandering from Rome to Florence to Venice, through the Tuscan countryside and down to the Amalfi coast. Shelley's maternal grandfather was Italian and it had always been her dream to visit Italy. It was everything she'd imagined and more! She returned to Italy in 2013 with a group of friends to spend a week at a stunning villa on the Amalfi coast, followed by a Mediterranean cruise.
The second collection is called Solace in Nature. The word solace means to find comfort or consollation from grief, distress or sadness. Shelley has been drawn to paint nature scenes that for her, provide solace from the stresses in life. As you can see from this collection, she's particularly drawn to trees and water. Anytime she's surrounded by trees or next to a serene body of water, she feels like everything in my body exhales and she is overcome with a profound sense of peace. She hopes you can find solace in nature as well through her paintings.
What's next?
Shelley has just finished a new painting (not yet released) in her new four painting collection that focuses on the forest, birch trees, water and vivid summer & fall colors. Look for the big reveal soon!
