BARBARA SHELLY GALLERY

I found My Voice Through Art

I come from a long line of activists and art lovers. My Grandmother was in the Red Army in Russia, immigrated to Philadelphia and marched with the suffragettes. My mother was a democratic committee women in a Republican neighborhood in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

My art reflects and represents current events in performing arts and politics. People in the news inspire me....their movement, their expression, their passion for change. There is an emotional part of me in every painting.
