Personalized Portrait Paintings (and Drawings) - Danbury, CT

A portrait by Shelley Lowell is a cherished work of fine art whether it is of a person or animal or both.
Shelley creates her paintings in oil paint with a wax medium using archival cotton canvas, which has been gallery-wrapped around the sides of thick stretchers. Her paintings are uniquely custom as they portray a person or pet’s personality.

Shelley Lowell is a highly accomplished, award-winning professional artist. A graduate of Pratt Institute, she uses her natural gift of artistic expression and her art training to create outstanding, representational oil paintings. A fine artist with more than 40 years experience, her art has been displayed in gallery and museum exhibitions, including The Bronx Museum of the Arts and The High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

She started painting portraits of people professionally in 1985. In 1999 one of her cats had a major health challenge. This led her to painting animals in order to pay the vet bills and she never stopped. Her paintings capture a likeness and feeling of the person and/or animal. Many times they bring tears of joy to the individual receiving the painting when they see it for the first time. Gift certificates are also available. Paintings start at $400 for a 10 x 8 painting.

She works from your photo(s), which you can email to her.
