SHELLEY ALDRICH

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.
