ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Lyn­nette Shelley

Lyn­nette Shel­ley is an award-win­ning Penn­syl­va­nia artist spe­cial­iz­ing in con­tem­po­rary mixed media ani­mal paint­ings. Hav­ing a great love of wildlife, pat­terns and arche­types, Shel­ley fus­es these influ­ences into her strik­ing­ly unique art­works. Her paint­ings strike a pri­mal chord in many view­ers, with almost Jun­gian asso­ci­a­tions to the col­ors and shapes. Her high­ly detailed and com­plex com­po­si­tions are cre­at­ed using a sophis­ti­cat­ed process devel­oped from a buildup of mul­ti­ple lay­ers incor­po­rat­ing tech­niques in both draw­ing and paint­ing — from cross­hatch­ing to under­paint­ing to free­hand drawing.

Shel­ley’s ani­mal and nature themed art­works have been dis­played nation­al­ly as well as region­al­ly at muse­ums, art gal­leries and oth­er venues. She is rep­re­sent­ed by Ivy­s­tone Stu­dio in Down­ing­town, PA, Bor­rel­li’s Chest­nut Hill Gallery in Philadel­phia, PA, and Deja 42 Gallery in Philadelphia. 

Orig­i­nal­ly from Delaware, Shel­ley lives in Ambler, Penn­syl­va­nia, and main­tains a pri­vate stu­dio in Norristown.

Amy Bruck­n­er

Amy Bruck­n­er is the cre­ative engine dri­ving Piece of Mind Mosaics. A native of the Philadel­phia sub­urbs, she began her career as a mosa­ic artist 16 years ago study­ing under Gina Hubler of Design Impact Stu­dios of Mia­mi. Amy con­tin­ued hon­ing her skills with award-win­ning mosa­ic mur­al artist Isa­iah Zagar, best known for his bril­liant­ly eclec­tic Philadel­phi­a’s Mag­ic Gar­dens, a mod­ern art instal­la­tion in Philadel­phi­a’s vibrant South Street neigh­bor­hood. Oth­er mosa­ic artists she has stud­ied with are Cyn­thia Fish­er, Lau­ra Rendlen, Lin­da Big­gers, Yulia Hanansen, Guilio Menos­si and Rachel Sager.

Amy has always been involved with one art form or anoth­er, from pot­tery to water­col­or paint­ing. Cre­at­ing beau­ti­ful, orig­i­nal mosaics is what Amy loves to do, and she takes a spe­cial inter­est in inte­grat­ing the per­son­al imagery of her clients into her works. She works with most­ly with glass but also incor­po­rates ceram­ic ele­ments, stone, and even encaus­tic and alco­hol ink painting!

Amy works out of her home stu­dio near Down­ing­town, PA and has taught mosa­ic class­es at her home stu­dio, Phoenix Vil­lage Art Cen­ter in Phoenixville, PA, Methac­ton School Dis­trict in Eagleville, PA, Pottstown Gallery School, in Pottstown, PA, Chester Coun­ty Night School and Art Part­ners in Coatesville, PA. She has been an artist in res­i­dence at Lorane Ele­men­tary School near Read­ing, PA. A mosa­ic vio­lin she cre­at­ed for the Paint­ed Vio­lin Project fundrais­er for the Com­mu­ni­ty Music School in Trappe, PA was on dis­play at the Kim­mel Cen­ter in Philadel­phia, PA. One of her mosaics hung in the place of hon­or next to a piece by Isa­iah Zagar at City Hall in Philadel­phia for the Soci­ety of Amer­i­can Artists Mosa­ic exhib­it in 2015. Her work has been shown in juried art shows – Down­ing­town Fine Arts Fes­ti­val 2016, Art in Autumn in Weaverville, NC 2015 and 2016 and Chester Coun­ty Stu­dio Tour 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Cur­rent­ly her work is dis­played at Visu­al Expan­sion Gallery in West Chester, PA.
