About Shelley

Shelley's been artistic and creative for as long as she can remember, whether it was making her own hand painted t-shirts, painting murals on her walls growing up, decorating toy boxes, making decorative art for her family, or decorating cakes and cupcakes for friends.

For the last 24 years, her creative side has helped her build a successful business as a web designer (Web Crafters), which has given her the freedom to pursue her passions, which include travel and painting. Shelley and her partner travelled full time before the pandemic, which allowed them to see more of the world and explore new places. And although Shelley has settled back into her hometown of Houston, TX, she continues to travel as much as possible.

You'll see her love of travel and nature (as well as animals) reflected in her paintings. Her happy place is getting lost in her creative brain for hours on end and she hopes that joy shines through in her paintings!

Painting: Boats at Harbor - Shelley's art is truly beautiful. Her use of color and technique come alive on the canvas! Her interpretation of the scene is akin to the Impressionists of the nineteenth and twentieth century, yet she has found a way to make the technique all her own. We adore her work and will certainly keep our eye out for more from this wonderful, talented artist!

Painting: Scotland Puffins - When I look at The Puffins in Scotland It stirs my senses, looking at the painting I’m drawn to sun dancing on the water. I smell the sea and feel the cool ocean breeze. I see the cliffs and I can feel the soft earth beneath my feet. I look at the Puffins and I feel curiosity and Joy. I’m transported.

Painting: Sailing Serene - It's a simple sailboat on a calm orange, peach, and salmon colored sea. But it stood out to me. What stands out to me with Shelley's work is her use of bold color. In simple land-, town-, or sea-scapes, there is often a small detail like a sailboat, a rowboat, or some other sign of peaceful life that tells me things are OK. Her pet portraits are beautiful captures of the fur baby's personality. I'm glad her art is in my home, and I look forward to adding to the collection.

Painting: Woman Playing Guitar in the Forest - Everything about this painting is just magical. With the colors, to the shading, the painting is pleasing to look at. Fits perfectly in my room!
