Biography
Shelly Floyd is a contemporary abstract artist celebrated for her bold, woven paintings that fuse vibrant colors with intricate textures. Drawing inspiration from the connections between emotion, space, and art, Shelly’s work transforms everyday environments into meaningful, uplifting experiences.
With a focus on creating pieces that resonate deeply with viewers, Shelly’s art goes beyond visual appeal. Each painting tells a unique story, inviting its audience to connect with feelings of joy, energy, or serenity. Her innovative technique, which involves weaving layers of paint into intricate patterns, adds a tactile dimension to her work, making each piece a sensory journey.
Shelly’s passion for art stems from a lifelong fascination with texture and movement. Her grandmother’s artistry as a baker using palette knives and piping tools inspired her to explore the expressive potential of unconventional methods, which she now incorporates into her distinctive style.
