Shelley Ross is a self-taught watercolour artist with an interest in subjects that come from nature - the root systems of trees, wildflowers, lichens and mountain streams. A painting begins with a hike in a forest or along a mountain trail - to spend time with the subject. While Shelley's academic background is in biology, in nature, she sees colour before classification, form and pattern before species identification. A field sketch is translated into a painting using the transparent quality of watercolour paint to build colour. Often, it is not so much about the finished product as it is the painting experience. For the last twenty-five years, Shelley has worked as a natural heritage interpreter. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and has worked with Parks Canada, Ministry of Natural Resources in Ontario, Saskatchewn Environment and Resource Management, and the Western Development Museum.
