Biography
Shelley's adventures in art began at an early age when she decided at the age of 14 to be an art teacher. Originally from Ohio, she earned a BFA in drawing and painting from Bowling Green State University and then an MA in visual arts education from The University of Northern Colorado while teaching in the public schools. Her training and experiences as a 25 year veteran art educator and arts coordinator allowed her to learn from some extraordinary artists and teachers such as Phillip Pearlstein, Joseph Magnani, Diana Attie, Jerry Uelsmann, Thomas Hilty, Phillip Wigg, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Faith Ringgold.
