About

My Story

Hi, I’m Shelley, I live on the Central Coast and spend my time painting and designing.

I have been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I would spend hours drawing mermaids and fairies. I also loved doing art lessons with Max Watters in Scone, where he taught me the basics of painting. He also taught me how calming painting can be.

Later, I studied graphic design, which taught me about colour, composition and how to bring ideas to life.

These days, I paint mainly with acrylics and sometimes create digital illustrations. I’m inspired by glowing moonlight, beautiful trees, winding flowers and vines, with a touch of fantasy woven into some of my pieces. I love the atmosphere these images create.

I create original paintings and art prints in my home studio, and I love sharing them with others.

Printing

All of my art prints are created in my studio on the Central Coast, NSW. My postcards and greeting cards are printed on 100% recycled paper by an eco-friendly Australian printer. 

Packaging

I am committed to using recycled and eco-friendly packaging. Prints are protected with cellophane bags made from biodegradable cellulose and backing boards are made from 100% recycled fibres.
