This week, I started working on a limited line of original art ornaments. Last year, I debuted 14 original 4x4" mini bird painting ornaments for the holidays, which proved to be very popular.  This year, I plan on focusing on larger wild animals, starting with these three animals pictured below. Once I complete all the paintings in the series (I am aiming for 12-14 artworks), I'll announce an exclusive sale on my website.



Each 4x4 inches artwork is created with ink and acrylic on wood panel, and is ready to hang as an ornament on a tree, displayed on a shelf or table top, or hung on a wall. The possibilities are endless. These miniature paintings are truly one of a kind.


Stay tuned for more details.

ABOUT THE ARTIST


Lynnette Shelley is an award-winning Pennsylvania artist specializing in contemporary mixed media animal paintings. Having a great love of wildlife, nature, patterns and archetypes, Shelley fuses these influences into her strikingly unique artworks. Her paintings strike a primal chord in many viewers, with almost Jungian associations to the colors and shapes. Her highly detailed and complex compositions are created using a sophisticated process developed from a buildup of multiple layers incorporating 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 at museums, art galleries and other venues. In 2021, Shelley was awarded "Master Artisan" status by the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen.


In addition to her fine art pursuits, Shelley is also the co-founder of The Red Masque, an original dark art rock / progressive rock band she has been writing and performing in since 2001. The Red Masque are currently working on a new studio album. Shelley is also the vocalist in Green Cathedral, a contemporary art rock band. They released their debut album in September 2017 and are currently recording a new studio album.


Originally from Delaware, Shelley lives in Philadelphia and maintains a private art studio in Maple Glen, Pennsylvania.
