Shel Allman

I am inspired by nature, wildlife and the intersection of human interaction with it.
I create mix media collages with acrylic paints, gesso, cuttings from recycled local magazines, various packaging materials and debris that I have collected from beaches and hikes in the area or on travels. They are a surreal dream, dimensional and adaptive to light. Through these I like to show the similarities of human creation, nature and a feeling of liminality.
I also create illustrative watercolors, mostly of boats. My watercolors are meant to emote the feeling of the moment as if it was imagined in a children's book.
Sharing color, awe and beauty of life is my goal.
