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.

Wow! Most EXCELLENT imagery!! So much detail, must have took forever!!~S
Thanks Steve. This is a smaller piece so didn’t take as much time as you might think. I did a large Kraken before, in the same style, and THAT took forever. This is only 6 × 9 inches.
