ARTIST SPOTLIGHT SERIES #4
Shining a light on the artists who make our shop special!
Meet Shelli Johnson

“After a successful career in marine science, Shelli Johnson rediscovered her passion for painting and now draws inspiration from the wildlife and coastal beauty of the Outer Banks. Working primarily in acrylics and often incorporating recycled materials, her artwork captures the magic, color, and spirit of coastal North Carolina.”
