“Swans glide by in pairs, drifting silently in the twilight. The sun sinks below the horizon, birds call to roost, as the air cools. All the colours change, as the light fades. The vegetation exhales, the sea breathes out, and into me. I feel safe, and enchanted.’”

Growing up in the wild prairies of Northern Alberta, to the lush coastal forests of Vancouver, to bayside Elwood, Shelley recalls the rare feeling of being held in dark nature. She paints scenes with a deep feeling of romance, and quiet wonder.
