Cover This Shell Heart image was created from a variety of Shirley Bell's watercolors. The artist began painting in watercolor 25 years ago. Paralyzed in a car accident when she was 16, Shirley has been determined to live a full and prosperous life. She is inspired by her natural surroundings on Conanicut Island, in Jamestown. Her originals
began selling in galleries and gift shops through out the country. To keep up with the demand, Shirley began reproducing her artwork in giclee form. In 2006 she launched Shirley Bell Designs, which features over 300 of her images on stationery and gift items. www.shirleybelldesigns.com |
