Artist Bio
After a full career in public education as a teacher, principal, and life-long learner, creative interests have become a central part of Shelley’s life in retirement. She is an explorer when it comes to art and creativity. Her greatest joy, and often favourite pieces, come about while delving into a new approach or medium.
Experimenting, repurposing a found piece, and calling on personal explorations are sources of joy in her creative process. Although painting with wool (wet and needle felting) is where Shelley currently invests most of her creative time, she loves to dabble and explore with different materials and approaches, including acrylic, watercolour, digital, and collage. She enjoys sharing her passion while introducing others to the wonderful world of painting with wool through needle felting workshops. Her creations are available for viewing and purchase at Maker’s Studio and Art Market in Windsor, and at several local gift shops.
