Part of a new ICON series which takes ideas from religious iconography, portraiture and art nouveau and mixes it with the artist’s love of animals, abstraction and stylized imagery. The results are both mystical and vibrant.
ICON I depicts a ram (Aries). Original artwork measures 11 × 15″ and is created with mixed media (oil pastels, colored pencils, art pens, metallic paint pens) and embellished with colored foil on blue watercolor paper.
Having a great love animals, fairytales, and world mythology, Pennsylvania artist Lynnette Shelley fuses these influences into her strikingly unique illustrations. Her artwork strikes a primal chord in many viewers, with almost Jungian associations to the colors and shapes. Her artworks have been likened to images from an undiscovered ancient civilization or culture.

Lynnette I am fond of blues and greems together…great combination (I like peacock feathers and bluebell woods). This has a mosaic feel to it, Greek even. Lovely mix of shapes and forms. A beautiful Aries. ~ Anni ;)
