"Opportunity dances with those who are already on the dance floor." -Jackson Brown Mixed-media on 1" deep wood panel The sides are painted black Varnished Ready to hang I've been using different materials in my work, allowing for more texture and interest. This painting has several different underlying paper designs that peek through the layers of paint. There's also just a bit of gold leaf coming through. I'm really happy with the process. I have a love of old things, peeling paint and wall paper. Years ago. I had some friends in Cincinnati that bought a very old house and restored it to its original glory. On the old walls were layers of peeling paint and wall paper. It was like the history of the home was stored in those layers. I could imagine they moved in when the kitchen was painted pink, the kids were in grade school when the green wall paper went up. In high school, the wall paper was painted over with a warm yellow. Someone new moved in and made it their own by painting it a new color. It was all there, the memories of days gone by. People are layered too. Each new season of ours lives brings a fresh new coat of paint coloring us a certain shade for that moment. As we peel back the layers, we start to see all the things that make us who we really are. It's a beautiful process and one that I'm totally fascinated with. Thanks for reading and don't forget to put on your dancing shoes and dance!!

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.
