Shelly's Rose

ARTISTShelly Kennedy read more

As a child, Shelly Kennedy made jewelry from foil, sewed tiny pillows for her baby dolls, and decorated her sneakers with bubblegum wrappers. Today, as a 'grown-up girl' with formal training in art and illustration, her work is just as much fun, combining creative and entertaining elements into her decorative art. Shelly is inspired by parties full of friends, pretty places, vintage picture books and the ever-changing interests of her own children. She finds exhilaration in family chaos, magazines, rainy days, fingers dusted with sidewalk chalk and the way a puppy stretches after a good nap.
