Shelley Hall's work is evocative of water reflections and the elements of nature. The soft muted earth tones are pared with deep rich, saturated colors, and soft luminous blues to create a harmonious blend of emotion and intellect. The underpaintings combine line, text, and objects in nature which are veiled in transparent layers of color, creating a luminous atmospheric quality. Ordinary objects in nature - flowers, a branch, hills - begin to take shape through the fog and then recede from your vision as you pass. Look closely at these works and catch a glimpse of something miraculous in an ordinary moment.

The artist's subtle layering of color evokes nature's mystery. Under the gentle surfaces of these prints, soft grid patterns create structure and order, a balance of light and shadow. Her work is a sophisticated combination of serenity and power. The Symbolic qualities of reflections are thought provoking when combined with the sensual and luminous surfaces of the paintings. The recent series goes beneath the surface and represents nature in abstract form.

The artwork of Shelley Hall reaches beneath the surface to reflect nature in abstract form, reminiscent of water reflections and the spiritual elements of nature.
