Shelley lists Pop Art, especially the work of Andy Warhol, as her major influence, both stylistically (use of vibrant colour, for instance) and thematically (a shared celebration of Vintage). She celebrates risk-taking in art and challenges the Iconic. For instance, in “The Three Graces,” Shelley plays with art historical tropes in a subversive yet cheeky representation of 20th-century women. “Strength, risk and doing what pleases you, are key to any Art.”
