Shelley Wales

Shelley is a Vancouver BC based visual artist. Through drawing, painting and photography her work explores life and landscape above the 49th from her native Vancouver north to the Canadian and Alaskan arctic. She has a particular love of the effect landscape has on our memories and emotions. You can often find her napping on the side of a mountain after a full day of exploring and finding inspiration in this incredible part of the world that she happily calls home. Her photography is primarily landscape and nature based. Recently she has been exploring impressionist photography utilizing techniques such as intentional camera movements, in camera multiple exposure and photo composites to explore our perception and emotional attachment to the landscape as we move through it in time. She received her BFA in painting from The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design along with her Bachelors of Communication Design. Shelley is the owner and Creative Director of inEthos Graphic Design and Illustration, a boutique communication design studio located in Tsawwassen, BC.
