About the Artist
My name is Shelley Lannan-Cote. I grew up in southern California in the 70s and 80s, often doodling and drawing weird stuff to entertain my friends. In 1995, I graduated from UCSD with a BA in Visual Art, a huge feat for this ADHD brain.
My extended studies include bench jewelry making and lost wax casting.
I am married with children and cats, living in beautiful Washington state. Having been in mom-mode for many years, now all I want to do is paint and make weird stuff. Making and sharing art is my sanity keeper. Thank you for being a part of it.
About the Art
My mission is to make uplifting art that is filled with light, love, and humor.
The process of art making is always more fun for me when I include something slightly odd or funny. It's that little subdued weirdness that keeps me going. I want to encourage the idea that oddness is to be celebrated.
And who knows, maybe my art will inspire you to embrace your inner weirdo too!
