Shelley Vanderbyl is a conceptual artist whose work provides an immersive therapeutic experience within public galleries, clinics and homes, and is meant to create a beautiful, thoughtful space for the viewer to process difficult circumstances more easily. She has attended three international residencies and her work has been featured in over 18 publications around the globe.

Particularly interested in aiding people with post traumatic stress disorder, Shelley asks the question, “If what someone has seen can break a person, can an image be a part of their healing?”
