Shelli Walters

Shelli Walters

Shelli Walters has lived in Oregon since she was a small child. Too young to tag along with her older sisters, she immersed herself in art. She attended design school and has been a graphic designer in Bend for 26 years. Shelli always kept exploring fine art. Today she splits her time between mixed media art and graphic design. She is inspired by Oregon’s vast and diverse landscape and magical wildlife. When in touch with nature she feels a connection to the spiritual world. “My paintings flow out of those powerful moments when I have been awake with the world and tapped into its incredible spiritual energy and infinite beauty. These memories and experiences re-imagine themselves on canvas to share a feeling of joy, freedom and empowerment. Layers of paint and collage reflect layers of life and give the fragmented details that spin in memory a place to rest.”
