Shelley graduated with my BFA in drawing and painting from Utah State University in 2008. Since then she has taught numerous art classes, participated in various art exhibits, and painted over 100 murals. "My mural is meant to draw attention to something as seemingly insignificant as a drop of water. Due to the current drought that plague us both locally and worldwide, I have realized how something as commonplace as water is often taken for granted. Water links us to the past as civilizations were built around access to water and also to the future the wise use of water will ensure that those civilizations will remain. The colors in the water represent the unseen influences of present day and the ripple shows how our choices continue to effect the future."
