Hey There!
IM SO HAPPY YOU STOPPED BY
My name is Shelley and I am a self-taught illustrator.
While I have always loved being crafty, I did not begin illustration and painting until 2018. I started with a 100 Day Project and have not stopped since. I love the challenge of untying the complex knot of creativity and the slow process of developing a style. It is still evolving, but my work is almost always joyful, connected to the natural world, and inspired by an interesting story.
It took me 25 years to begin a path I knew I would eventually take. It is never too late. My dream of designing artsy products in a studio full of light has just begun and I am so grateful you have taken a moment to peek at my journey.
Other bits about me…
I graduated USC in Business and worked 20+ years in entertainment, start-ups and automotive
I like order, logic, analytical thinking and numbers which I believe sometimes hinders my creativity
I enjoy volunteering and especially love when it involves art and kids
I am a fantasy and sci-fi nerd
I love playing classical piano
I detest shopping and have multiples of the same outfit
I avoid crowds and any type of activity that involves crowds
I love games, board games, card games, brain games, video games, and winning!
I live with my hubby and girls in our cozy home on a hill
We do our best to live a simple authentic life
