A native of Regina, Saskatchewan, Shelley Reeves has lived in Montreal for over 30 years. She studied at Concordia University in Montreal and the College of Art in Calgary. She is now a professor of drawing and painting at Concordia University and Dawson College.

Shelley prepares for a big opening in Edmonton on the heels of a very successful show in Montreal. She paints in her studio and candidly describes her current work—several impressive and ample portraits. Her work delves into the human psyche with a sense of poetic resonance, exploring the division between mind and body.
