This collection blends humor with beauty, making each painting feel alive and full of personality.
Painted with expression, as if whispering secrets to one another.
Annabelle Shockley
Annabelle is a wild young abstract artist who loves creating art. When she’s not creating, you’ll find her playing with pets and exploring nature. She has a creative spirit and a big heart. She creates bold abstracts that are full of energy just like her personality. Her art is created using paint, stencil, collage paper and mark making. Her passion for art isn’t just about what she creates, she loves helping others discover the joy of creating. She shares by teaching kid art classes.
Annabelle has had the opportunity to participate in three art exhibitions, sharing her art with the community. She has been published in papers and selected as "Stoplight Artist" of her county.
Captivating Seascapes Collection
Sea the world through the eyes of Elaine Hinchman’s extraordinary art! Stunning sailboat seascapes with captivating sea spray, this artist will make waves in your heart. The added texture gives the observer a feeling of movement in the waves and wind. It evokes the feeling of sea spray lightly misting their face making the viewer feel present on the picturesque coast
Finding Harry Collection
An Eastern North Carolina kayaking adventure is not complete without the spotting of Harry the Heron. Herons are known to bring good luck and wisdom. This artwork was inspired by one of my own paddling trips. If you look closely, you just may see Harry the Heron too.
Acrylic
Each acrylic painting is fabricated with heavy texture adding movement and action to its subject.
This process adds interest to wildlife and gives life to sea creatures. A scumbling technique is added to showcase the many layers of texture and paint.
Scumbling is a painting technique in which a light thin coat of paint is added over another so that bits of layers show through.
