Shelton Kelly, Greer

Shelton Kelly (b. 1996) is an emerging artist living and working in New York City. Shelton spent her childhood between the San Francisco bay area and a log cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Her early experiences of exploring the region's untamed backcountry fostered a deep appreciation for nature and naturalism within her. Her interests in geology, evolution, and the effects of time on the natural world remain important influences in her work today.
