About Shelli Conner
Shelli Conner is a painter and illustrator whose Southern roots run deep. Born in Houma, Louisiana, she grew up surrounded by the bayous, folklore, and ghostly legends of Cajun country - influences that echo through her art.
Now a proud transplant to sunny Central Florida, Shelli transforms mythical creatures, classic monsters, and whimsical guardians into vibrant, jewel-toned beings alive with story and spirit. Working primarily in watercolor and gouache, she layers deep gemlike colors with shimmering gold outlines, creating intricate worlds where the eerie and the enchanting coexist.
Her art series brings new life to familiar figures: witches, vampires, mermaids, owls, and guardians of earth, sea, and sky, reimagined with warmth, personality, and a touch of mystery. Each piece invites viewers into a world where fantasy feels protective, playful, and powerful!
Shelli’s studio practice grew from her lifelong love of folklore, nature, and storytelling. She believes art should be both beautiful and approachable, offering collectors not just an image, but a companion, a guardian for their walls, homes, and imaginations.
When not in the studio, Shelli can be found exploring antique shops, traveling to historic places, or enjoying life with her pets, who often inspire the playful spirit behind her creations.
Shelli Conner Studio is where jewel tones, gold light, and myth meet, inviting you to collect artwork that feels timeless, magical, and uniquely alive.
