To create, the yearning to express the attraction. To yearn, succeed in thy affections. To succeed, find comfort in thy emotions. To find comfort, when your love is worn. But to love, still completely with desire and without hesitation. The desire, to enrich one’s passion. Passionate, in thy feelings. Feelings, to reach out to Caress. Caress, as in one’s first kiss. Kissed, with forever belonging to art. Forever, a devotion that never grows cold. Devoted, a marriage at heart. Copyright SHELLEY JONES 2007

©Copyright Shelley Jones All Rights Reserved My involvement in art began several years ago. My daughter enjoyed little drawings of castles, characters, and such. I than began to expand, taking it a step farther with painting and such giving myself some pleasure. I found myself feeling refreshed. It elevated the mind from the 'everyday' allowing my thoughts to wonder off into a 'place' of no stress, no laundry. I fell in love with that 'place'. I have tinkered with painting, sculpture, wax, photography, and digital art, all of which I am mostly self-taught. At this time I have 'somewhat' settled on photography and digital art. 'Somewhat' meaning I still relish the freedom to work with the other mediums. Looking at my portfolio you see that mixture of those different mediums. It is said to pick one or two to display, and just play with the rest. A 'rule' of the trade. In other words 'you can only have a piece of apple or peach pie'. Right now 'I would rather have a piece of them all'. Art is a freedom to express. At this time I am 'expressing'. Visit http://shelley-jones.artistwebsites.com/.)
