Brief description: Shelley Davies, who has both Coast Salish and European ancestry, is a self-taught artist who is constantly challenging her boundaries and comfort zone. She has come to love painting with acrylics using energetic colour palettes that capture the rich landscapes and majestic wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. Shelley's art, including several large-scale murals, can be found across the Saanich, Esquimalt, and Sooke areas. On top of her artistic practice, Shelley has devoted 30 years to the long-term care and health of our elderly in BC. She now resides in Sooke on T'Sou-ke First Nation territory, and has shared a splendid 35 loving years with her husband raising two wonderful, successful children, all of whom share in her passion for art and nature.
