Artist: Shelley Davies
Cultural Background: Coast Salish, T’Sou-ke Nation
Born in Victoria British Columbia Shelley grew up in the small village of Shirley on the rugged southwest coast of Vancouver Island. Raised by her single hardworking mom and beloved grandmother, Shelley was always exposed to nature and wildlife from the beaches where she lived, to the backwoods camping and fishing trips with her mom and grandma.
Shelley is Coast Salish, currently living on T’Sou-ke Nation reserve where she is starting to explore her cultural art forms. Learning more about her art culture of the T’Sou-ke Nation is inspiring on another level for Shelley.
Shelley has pursued several different art mediums over the years but really came to love painting, specifically in acrylic, using vibrant color palettes in her work. Shelley is a self-taught artist who is constantly challenging her boundaries and comfort zone. Wildlife is
Shelley’s first love for subject matter, but she has challenged those confines in murals and portraits she was commissioned to do in Saanich Peninsula Hospital extended care facility.
