Lyrical Abstraction
Shel’s lyrical abstractions flow with spontaneity, intuition, and emotional depth. Each work dissolves the boundaries between form and feeling, inviting the viewer into a quiet, contemplative space. Favoring freedom and improvisation over rigid structure, her paintings unfold like visual meditations — personal expressions that speak in color, rhythm, and breath.
“space of sanctity”
A quiet balance of texture, color, and movement invites one into a moment of reflection. This piece embodies Shel’s intention to hold space: an invitation into a space of sanctity where stillness and energy coexist, allowing space to pause, exhale, and embrace grace in the moment.

“Grace & Dust” explores the tension between our guardrails and life’s fleeting, beautiful interruptions. The bold vertical form rises as a symbol of stability and ambition, while circles drift like unexpected joys. Beneath it all, the gentle foundation holds space for humanity: soft, imperfect, and enduring.
