Shelly Svonavec creates fine art paintings and mixed media pieces loosely reminiscent of various nature elements. Ideas mostly inspired by sky, sun, & water, Shelly works in an intuitive and experimental manner with the intention of connecting to and resonating with the viewer.

Her goals don’t only lie in creating art but in working as an educator – reaching the youth through multi-disciplinary workshops meant to develop & inspire throughout the creative process. She hopes to connect with her students by leaving a lasting impression on the development of each child. Currently, Shelly is a Master Teaching Artist for the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning, an incredible non-profit for the arts – bringing arts enrichment to areas of need in Cleveland.
