USA
Hey! My name is Shelby Jane James. I am a teaching artist working in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. I do not stick to one style; the reason for this is when looking to the masters, they were/are constantly trying something new and did/do not get pigeon-holed into one style or medium. You will notice my body of work is not consistent with what is becoming common with emerging artists, which is this “branding” practice that does not allow artists to venture far from what is getting the most recognition on social media. I enjoy the freedom of moving through various media and styles. However, you will find one constant in my work: an obsession with color. I hope you enjoy experiencing my artwork. Please contact me for commissions.
