Shelley Wales. It’s almost too obvious that she would be drawn to the sea. Based in Sydney, Australia, Shelley paints with acrylic, watercolour, and oil pastel. Her bold mark-making and intuitive colour palette brings her personal mythology to life – one shaped by days by the beach and the treasure one can always uncover, find and feel in or near the water.

Guided by her mantra “float in the paint,” Shelley’s art invites viewers to smile, breathe, and rediscover their inner child… when nothing else really matters other than a swim and an icy pole at the end of the day.

And yes, there’s always a palm tree in sight – even on a cold winter’s day you will find Shelley under one. It’s her happy place.
