ABOUT THE ARTISTS

LYNNETTE SHELLEY (Studio 6, Paintings)
Lynnette Shelley is an award-winning Pennsylvania artist specializing in contemporary mixed media animal paintings. Having a great love of wildlife, folktales, tribal art and world mythology, 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 dry brushing to ink splashes and freehand drawing.

​Shelley's animal and mythological-themed artworks have been displayed nationally as well as regionally at museums, art galleries and other venues.

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. Shelley is also the vocalist in Green Cathedral, a contemporary art rock band. They released their debut album in 2017.

​Originally from Delaware, Shelley lives in Ambler, Pennsylvania, and maintains a private studio in Norristown.

ELENA DIMI (Studio 4, Photography)
Elena Dimi is an award-winning photographer with a fine art portraiture background, based in Philadelphia, PA.
Her true passion is to photograph people, constantly trying to discover their intimate images. The key element that she looks for in her work is reminiscence.



JENNIFER DOMAL (Pysanky)
Jennifer Domal is best known for writing designs on eggshells using melted beeswax, dye and acid, an art form known as pysanky. Her Polish-Lithuanian heritage first introduced her and her passion for abstract and idealized forms, pattern and repetition, line and dot influenced her decision to continue using eggshells. Ancient cultures and traditional art forms that use pattern, line and bold color captivate her eye and will often find a way into pysanky and batik eggs. Designs are written on shells as small as quail and bobwhite up to emu and ostrich, although the artist admits duck are a favorite for the porcelain like finish.

Domal grew up in Bucks County and moved to Chester County soon after graduating from West Chester University. She went back to West Chester University to attain a BFA in Studio Arts as a “mature” student after finally realizing that she was an artist.

Domal has won awards in exhibitions for drawings, paintings and pysanky. She sells her work online, at shows and festivals, and in galleries.

ALBENA PASHOVA (Paintings)
Albena Pashova is newest addition to the artists community in the Main line area.

Her paintings are a free flowing interpretation of emotions. Playful and uninhibited her original art pieces are inspired by nature. The free flow of paint on her canvases captures the raw passion of landscapes and the quiet beauty of flower compositions.

Self-thought raw talent, Albena uses a variety of acrylic pouring medium techniques enhanced with gentle brush stokes. The color scheme, bold and vibrant, is often accompanied by her signature wispy lacing and tonal transitions.

She creates paintings as a conversation starter with her clients. Larger scale art and custom color scheme can be commissioned.

Some of her work is featured in her online portfolio ArtFlowing:
