“Be a sunflower! Be Bright and Cheery. Be Big and Bold. Be Strong and Resilient. Know Your Roots and Be Hard to Miss in a Room!” author unknown This painting just makes me happy–it’s large, colorful and textured and there’s sunflowers! I’ve continued to experiment with fabric and I love the layered look that it gives each piece, plus the fact that I get to play in Hancock’s for a few hours. I imagine these beautiful women are lifelong friends, they’re chatting about their husbands or their children. They’ve seen good times and bad, they’ve weathered many storms together and still they stand strong and beautiful. *Mixed Media on 1.5" deep wood panel *The sides are painted black for a finished look *fabric, oil, and cold wax mediums were used *Painting comes wired and ready to hang

I've been an artist since I was a little girl, but although my talent was recognized from a young age, no one encouraged me to pursue art as a career. Throughout my life's journey, I've looked for different ways to release my creative energy. I've searched high and low for my place in life, and I've also experienced plenty of road blocks along the way. In 2006, I was depressed and feeling completely lost. I had no energy; it was difficult to just walk across the room. I was alive, but I wasn't living. The question came to me, Shelby, when are you going to start living your life? I was 40 years old and hadn't done anything I had ever dreamed of doing. I knew I had to find a creative outlet. I purchased a small DSLR camera and began taking pictures every day. We were living in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the time and my son would come with me and we would walk all over downtown taking pictures. I found fresh energy. When I started, I could barely walk across the room, but soon I was walking all over town. That was just the beginning. Our family, my husband, son, and I, all realized our creativity wasn't flourishing where we were, so we moved to Denver, Colorado. Not long after our move, I met a group of oil painters who opened their arms and invited me to paint with them. Painting had always been what I really wanted to do. And so it began. I became obsessed with painting!! I never knew I could love doing something this much. My art reflects my journey through life. I'm inspired by the people and events that have shaped me as well as my joys and my tribulations. Each painting is filled with my passion for life, my love of family, and my love of art. Through my life and my work, I want to encourage others to pursue their dreams and live life passionately.
