Enjoy Hayley's April recap and goals going into May. So many good things are to come! Stay tuned!

Join us for an in-depth interview with Kellie Lawler.

Kellie is inspired by structured design, patterns, and textiles. She has created many acrylic and ink artwork. Combining intrigue with the freedom of a continuous line technique, she creates graphic perspectives of human figures, nature, and other subjects. In creating a subject in one line, without constraints of proportion or perfection, each painting might unfurl differently in both the viewer's and the artist's eyes. Through her artwork, imperfect form meets perfect interpretation.

Kellie developed her skills at her high school in Baltimore, MD which provided an extensive elective art program. At Brown University, she played Division I Lacrosse, and her focus shifted to sports and her studies. As can happen, her love for art fell to the wayside. Kellie left providence in 1999 with a BA in psychology and a great guy, a fellow athlete at Brown, who later became her husband. His journey in the medical field has moved their family of six around often, but they have now happily landed in Alabama.

As fulfilling as life has been over the years, something was always missing. Curiosity leads Kellie to dust off a decades-old art portfolio and study her old love. At that moment, she knew she was about to start a new chapter of her life.

Join us as we chat with Shelby Dillon!

Shelby's heart beats to the joy of wandering, of dreaming, and adventuring.

Shelby Dillon Studio grew out of the amazing adventures Shelby had as a newlywed expat living in Southeast Asia and South America. She learned to embrace the unexpected and peek down the road less traveled. Shelby translates the beauty of this crazy world, exotic and familiar, into artwork that can be incorporated into everyday life. She draws on her experience as an artist to capture that sense of wonder and adventure and bring it to others. All of her designs are inspired by these travels, and are made to help everyone embrace their individual adventure each and every day.

Shelby is an award winning artist whose art has been exhibited and collected internationally, from Australia to Sweden, San Francisco to Coral Gables. Her art has been featured in HGTV’s Love It or List It, The Scout Guide, and more. She has lived on four continents and is always looking for a new adventure. She is currently living in St. Petersburg, FL with her husband and daughter.
