Biography

Shelly Amor was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. She has had many creative careers that have influenced her art: Landscape Architect, High School Art Teacher, and Wearable Design Artist. This artistic journey has led her to her present career, that of a full-time artist. The lockdowns, and her recent retirement, have given her the opportunity to paint full time and surround herself with two of the things she loves…travel and bright colours. The last two years have also given her time to show her work at a variety of art shows and galleries in the Ottawa area and Toronto.

Artist Statement

I am a fauvist artist who enjoys depicting the world in vivid bright colours. My acrylic paintings depict various locations I have visited in the last few years, as seen through my kaleidoscope eyes. My bright palette reflects the joy of the day and my leanings as a fauvist artist. These jeweled colours raised my spirits these past two years, and I hope they raise the spirits of those who view my work.

“We all could use a bit more joy and colour in our lives, especially now.”
