About the Host: Shelly’s work likes to portray mood and atmosphere, with vivid gestures that capture the essense of her subject and draw the viewer into the moment. Lili Anne Lauren, January 2019, Juried Art Show Third Place “I like that the work is not overly rendered, which gives the work a casual appearance reflective of the cowboy’s equally casual stance.” Julie Gilbert Pollard, January 2021, Juried Show First Place “I can actually hear the movement of these horses going down the path. I enjoy the accuracy of the subject, painted with loose, expressive brushwori.
