Shelley Dell is Kent Library's May Artist

The Kent Public Library will be featuring Shelly Dell as their "Artist of the Month" in May.  Her watercolor and colored pencil landscapes are  displayed on the Kent Library's web page at https://friendsofkentlibrary.blogspot.com/

According to Ms. Dell, "Catching moments of beauty, observing sunlight as it changes and passes through and around objects is a fascinating thing to observe and try to catch on paper. I make images with watercolors and colored pencils on paper and very recently I have started exploring monoprints." Shelly Dell graduated from NYU with a degree in studio art. Studies included classes at The Art Students League, and The School of Visual Arts. Her current projects integrate classic painting and drawing techniques with the digital world, images made with watercolors and colored pencils on paper attempting to record a few seconds of magic light. Her work is in collections in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. Galleries where she has exhibited include 55 Mercer Gallery and 80 Washington Square East Gallery in NY city.  She has  been selected to exhibit work in juried shows in the NY/NJ/CT area. Some of her editorial illustrations have been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, and Scientific American. Currently she is working on a larger series based on "analemma" the declination of the sun and the equation of time for each day of the year. More examples of Shelly Dell's art can be found on her website,
