Shelly Leitheiser has a passion for all kinds of visual art, including photography.  Shelly has combined her professional and personal interests into an art practice that reflects her interests, including the beauty of nature, the colors of the universe, portraits and more. About half of her art practice is abstract paintings, the rest a variety of landscapes and portraits. The subject matter of Shelly’s art is as varied as what she imagines and sees in the world. Today she fuses traditional art skills and techniques using oil, watercolor, and acrylic with current technologies and digital art. She has been displaying her art in many art shows in Georgia and Minnesota, where she used to live, for most of her life.
