Shelby K. Smith is a modern art enthusiast. She approaches art from an aesthetic perspective with the desire to create "feel good" paintings that evoke a sense of visual delight.

​

Inspired by minimalism and geometric abstraction, her work is structured and precise. There is an element of order and a rhythm to her art. Color plays a big role. Shelby is fascinated by the emotional power of color. She is drawn to bright, bold and saturated palettes and likes to incorporate different textures and finishes into her paintings.

​

Shelby works in the large-scale. She loves how simple shapes can have a strong impact when painted on an oversized canvas. Many of her pieces are designed as a set of two or three across multiple panels.
