Gail Shelley
I have been married to Daniel Shelley and lived in Westmoreland, NH, for 30+ years. I have 2 awesome grown children, Coleman and Jake Shelley, who live locally.
I have always loved painting and ddrawing and took art classes in high school. After graduation life got busy and I stopped making it a priority. I picked up a paintbrush again about 7 years ago and haven’t put it down since. I left a full-time job in 2022 to focus on my art. I am very happy to be part of the Monadnock Area Artists Association and other local art groups. I am fortunate to live in an area that appreciates and supports local artists.
