Mary Michael Shelley: Art of the Everyday

Mary Michael Shelley documents her life in wood and paint. Her artistic vision is inspired by the everyday world around her and includes portraits of her family, image metaphors for life lessons and feelings, and scenes of local diners, bars, shops, and farms in upstate New York. Her work is in collections including the American Folk Art Museum, High Museum of Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Smithsonian Institution, Arkell Museum, The Absolut Art Collection at the Spritmuseum, and the American Museum and Gardens in Bath, England.
