JANUARY ART NEWS from artist Lynnette Shelley Visit my website at  www.LynnetteShelley.com

Greetings! Happy New Year! 2019 had a lot of ups and downs for me (luckily, mostly ups, like my new studio space, some artwork I am truly proud of, as well as some of my highest grossing sales figures (which allows me to keep doing what I do best - create more art - for which I am thankful for each and every one of you who supports me either financially, physically or mentally in this crazy endeavor). This year will mark my 13th year since I quit my "day job" and started working for myself full-time. Hopefully it will be my lucky 13. I hope to see you sometime during this upcoming year and I wish you much success and happiness in your own life. Cheers! Myself with (L-R) photographer Elena Dimi, painter Albena Pashova and egg artist Jennifer Domal at my first open studio in my new Norristown space this past December 2019. I plan on having another open studio in June 2020. Stay tuned!
