Description
Born in Victoria, British Columbia, Shelley grew up in the small village of Shirley on the rugged southwest coast of Vancouver Island. Raised by her single hardworking mom and beloved grandmother, Shelley was always exposed to nature and wildlife from the beaches where she lived, to the backwoods camping and fishing trips with her mom and grandma.
Shelley is Coast Salish living on T’Sou-ke Nation reserve and is starting to explore her cultural art forms. Learning more about her art culture of the T’Sou-ke Nation is again inspiring on another level for Shelley. Shelley has pursued several different art mediums over the years but really came to love painting, specifically in acrylic, using vibrant color palettes in her work. Shelley is a self-taught artist who is constantly challenging her boundaries and comfort zone.
Shelley is usually working on her commission pieces of one kind or another, always challenging herself while constantly building up her own original works, you can find her fabulous original artworks or order a custom artwork at DaviesArtCollective.ca
