Paintings

Shelly's signature is painting with oil medium and Gold Leaf bringing focus into contemplation. As the Gold leaf captures the ever changing natural light it reflects creating a illusion. The painting comes alive as if a real sunset were beaming beneath the clouds.

There is so much meaning in the Trees. They are strong, long living and of striving renewal reflecting the suns light.

The Water Lily connotes peace as they purify muddy waters and simulates a daily reopening of spiritual rebirth.

The sounds of the open plains along side the fragrance of the surrounding blooms put us in a free peace of mind.

Each piece a story of it's own. Whether it's the peace lily, the feathers of a peacock, or the struggling of the koi fish swimming up stream. Each element has a meaning with in a experience or current happenings in our world. I leave it up to the viewer to discern their own experience, or awareness of each of these images represent.

These creatures of the prairie brings a spirit of freedom from the mans strong hold.

Symbolic for spiritual transition, and the journey of life well lived. Each Butterfly individually painted, molded then attached to a gold leaf panel reflecting the light it transcends.
