SHELLY SINGLETON

Shelly Singleton is a sculptor whose work is indefinably original.

Her style and presentation rise above comparisons to any specific master or method. Her art moves to transcend the emotional level to the spiritual level. As evidenced in the flow of movement and deep expression in her work, she strives for the viewer to “feel” peace instead of “see” peace, to “obtain” hope rather than “observe” hope. Her offerings go further, allowing one to experience that with which they identify.

Born in Texas, Shelly is the daughter of world famous sculptor Gib Singleton. Shelly earned her education in fine art from Southern Illinois University and the Art Institute of Chicago, and through a lifelong collaboration with her father.  Shelly Singleton’s works are displayed throughout the country including the top of Black Mountain in Arizona, the St. Louis Public Library, the Port of Miami and SoHo, New York where her mural covers one half of a city block.

Buyers of her art include former First Lady Barbara Bush, who purchased an oil painting commissioned by the Brock’s Chocolate Company and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who purchased a bronze sculpture that resides in his sculpture garden. Shelly’s work has also been commissioned by such corporations as The Phoenix Suns, Caribbean Cruise Lines and Seimans.

Singleton works in many mediums, including bronze, steel, porcelain and clay, as well as acrylic, oil and watercolor paints. This wide ranging talent provides diverse opportunities to transform her spirit in art to the individual experience.
