MEET THE ARTIST

Lynnette Shelley is an award-winning Pennsylvania artist specializing in contemporary mixed media animal and nature paintings. Her highly detailed and complex compositions are created using a buildup of multiple layers of ink and acrylic and incorporates techniques in both drawing and painting - from crosshatching to ink splatter to linear painting. Some of Shelley's work (her “fauxsaic” paintings) also incorporates elements of collage in which she adds hand-colored and cut watercolor paper to the artwork in a process that resembles mosaic tile.

​Shelley's animal and nature themed artworks have been displayed nationally as well as regionally. In 2021, Shelley was awarded "Master Artisan" status by the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen.
