| Biography: | |
| MONICA SHELTON | BARRY SHELTON For the past 35 years we have lived, worked and often exhibited together as two visual artists who happen to be married. Painting has been and is our work and creative expression that comes from a wondrous balancing act of nature, relationship, children, community, travel, spirit and more. Bringing art and people together is an important aspect for us, for it is essential in the feeling and knowing of human wholeness. We honour the triangular relationship between the viewer, the painting and the artist affirming the exchange in the long tradition of the Artist Atelier. In this context, our years of annual Open Studios, Gallery Exhibitions and Art Fairs present a welcome opportunity to reaffirm this special connection with the public as points of collective celebration and access to our creative spaces, processes, lives and art work. From extensive journeys throughout South Asia, Far East, Tibet, Indonesia, Europe, North America, South America, North Africa and the Middle East, artistic exposure and years of internal wanderings, our life experiences have been instrumental in our self evolvement as artists and form a rich wellspring for our present creative explorations and expressions. After many years as Ontario based artists, in 1987 we moved with our two children to British Columbia and set up our studios and gallery in our home in West Vancouver. We continue to exhibit annually in Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver. Collections: We are represented in Corporate and Private Collections in Canada and throughout the World. |

| Artist's Statement: | |
 MONICA SHELTON Monica Shelton has lived and worked as a visual artist for the last thirty-five years. She was born in Chile in 1949 and immigrated to Canada when she was 18. After many years as an Ontario based artist, Monica Shelton now works out of her Gallery/Studio/Home in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Extensive travels throughout Asia, Europe, North America, South America, North Africa and the Middle East also contribute to Monica’s art today. She paints in Acrylic on canvas as well as Mixed Media on paper and is a member of the CSPWC. Exhibiting regularly in Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver, her paintings are represented in private and corporate collections in Canada and around the world.
MONICA SHELTON ’When I paint, I want to be alone in front of the canvas. Only in solitude do I find the strength to get out of my own way and paint unbridled. I paint from inspiration, using my imagination, experiences and joys. I work with a format that is contemporary, gestural and personal. My hope is to help people discover their own story and more. My imagery is grounded in the mysteries of the natural world and aims to expand vision and thoughts beyond the finite, thereby experiencing new insights into the nature of reality. Making Art is my life and constant need, my inner guide and my joy.’
BARRY SHELTON Born in Toronto, Ontario in 1949, I have degrees from Queens and University of Toronto. For decades I have enjoyed painting with acrylic on canvas, I love my choice of media and path of life.
BARRY SHELTON ’My paintings are poetic maps of the human journey - of awakening - that utilize symbols and metaphor, abstraction and realism to embody and celebrate beauty in both its aspects of light and shadow. Contemporary images for the soul that can touch the heart and move the mind Constantly I sense and see a silent visual language before thought - a mystical unifying inner reality of simplicity and oneness, joy and light that underlies the natural world around me. In the "Individual Tree" series, the tree becomes the natural link in cosmic integration - rooted to the earth and reaching towards the heavens. Each has a particular quality or energy flowing through it. In the "Reflection Series", the nature and presence of light and water is explored in its brilliant magnificence. My abstracted pieces aim to portray sacred geometry of concepts in all their glorious and mysterious beauty. Words on ART are hindsight, images on ART are foresight. It is the creative process and the next painting that is of essential importance.’ |
