I use layers of acrylic paint, plaster, glaze, paper and multiple processes to create edgy inspired seascapes, florals and beach trees.

Shelley Minchew has always loved color, design, architecture, photography, fashion, cooking, travel and art. Having raised a family of four children and too many English Bulldogs to count, she now realizes that the past 30 years have been spent gathering memories and inspiration for her art.
She graduated from Louisiana State University (Geaux Tigers) and has studied art, design, architecture and photography. Shelley is an award-winning interior and community designer. She is inspired by the artistic techniques of Gary Bodner, Violet Parkhurst and Monet.
Each of her paintings includes a “hidden truth”- a special message or quote intended for just the right person. Poets and scholars such as Emily Dickinson, Longfellow, Helen Keller and Solomon write these gathered truths.
Mark Twain said it best when he said, “to get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with.”
Her paintings can be seen at The Blue Giraffe, Quincy’s Art, Retail Therapy, Abode and Watercolor Inn along 30A.
