Shelley’s fine arts education was in watercolor and printmaking, mediums that never quite fulfilled her artistic craving and seemed to stunt her abilities.  A terrific husband and five wonderful children encouraged her to find her perfect creative outlet.  During that journey, Shelley has worn many hats from interior designer to senior vice president of a public corporation.  She considers herself a mostly self-taught assemblage and collage artist and painter, and for the first time in her life that title sits well with her.
