Tumalo Art Co. featured artist for May—Shelli Walters “Wings”
May 3, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
New mixed media pieces by Shelli Walters celebrate “Wings” as a symbol of strength, purpose and freedom, opening May 3, at Tumalo Art Co. during the First Friday Gallery Walk from 4-8pm.
Drawn to bold color Shelli works with layers upon layers of paint and collage that add depth and texture inviting the viewer to look more closely. A graphic designer by trade she loves to use torn up printed materials in her work. This show celebrates taking a “leap of faith” a year ago by leaving her ad agency career of 24 years to surrender to the mystery of her creative path and pursue art and design with autonomy. In the year leading up to her departure her connection to Nature and its guidance became an undeniable and powerful force. “Birds appeared as messengers—time to trust my wings and synchronicity. These birds reappear here in my work. Each taking their perfect, harmonious place within the earth and sky.”
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of Bend’s Old Mill District open 7 days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.
