Collection: Modern Frescos Collection: Signal Fires for Hope, Healing and Reflection

Shelley Vanderbyl’s Fresco Collection offers vast, abstract paintings meticulously layered with plaster and then chipped away to evoke palimpsests—revealing fragments of color, texture, and mystery beneath each surface. Inspired by themes of hope, rescue, and pareidolia, these frescoes invite viewers into a meditative fascination state, where clouds, effusive landscapes, and cues of help emerge through gentle exploration. Each piece serves as a therapeutic journey, mirroring the viewer's unique story and offering moments of calm, safety, and introspection. Through her frescoes, Shelley builds an expansive space for the art of healing.
