Hi! That’s me. :-)
My name is Shelby and I’m a queer and genderqueer individual. Most of all I am a maker. I come from the woods of River Falls Wisconsin and originally started in crafts which is why I define myself as either an artist or a maker. I am an artist with emphasis in illustration and printmaking, however I dabble in painting and other mediums such as clay work as well. I love switching between mediums and falling in love with new methods. Much of my work is inspired by mental turmoil, the push and pulls of emotional waves washing over as is flows through.
Throughout most of my life I was unable to express my emotions outwardly, the only way I was able to connect was through my art, art was so heartbreakingly beautiful it was so incredibly loud it drowned everything else out. I grow everyday and open up more using my art practice as a therapeutic experience and I can only hope it can reach you too.
