ACRYLIC BASED – Shelley Pearson Art

The work in this gallery is acrylic based. The paintings are shown in reverse chronological order – the most recent paintings are at the top. In the last few years I’ve been spending more time exploring abstraction, although, I still like realism and I will be doing more in the future.

Gallery 1: This series of paintings started with a dreamt painting. I continued with the idea, exploring structure, colour and mood.
