I’m drawn to the ever-changing light, the shifting atmospheres, and the subtle details that reveal themselves when you pause and truly look. \n\nBeing immersed in nature brings a deep sense of peace and awe, yet it is often juxtaposed with the untamed wildness of the landscape and the unpredictable energy of the weather, creating a fascinating tension between calm and powerful, gentle and fierce. \n\nIn addition to light, colour, and form, I seek to portray this tension as well as non-visual experiences — particularly of sound, fragrance, emotional responses, and my sense of wonder in the natural world. \nEach work is an invitation for the viewer to move from mere observation of the colours and forms towards a reconnection with their own experiences of landscape, and through the artwork itself, towards new perceptions and deeper meanings.\n \nI work with a range of mediums including soft pastels, acrylics and oils. Pastels remain my favourite medium as they allow me to create varying textures depending on the subject and the mood or effect I am trying to achieve. This is further influenced by the choice of surface — from textured fine-grit papers to smoother varieties —each enabling the gradual build-up of multiple layers, or subtle marks that allow the underlying surface to show through.","date":"2026-02-25T00:00:00+00:00","catalogue":[{"id":"23194","filename":"Catalogue_ShelleyMcLEAN_25Feb2026_FrancesKeevil.pdf","url":"https://franceskeevil.frb.io/catalogue/Catalogue_ShelleyMcLEAN_25Feb2026_FrancesKeevil.pdf"}],"endDate":"2026-03-08T06:00:00+00:00","images":[{"id":"22130","url":"https://franceskeevil.frb.io/artworks/Shelley-Mclean-Peace-Like-a-River-Art.jpg","filename":"Shelley-Mclean-Peace-Like-a-River-Art.jpg","slug":null,"img":"\"Shelley"}],"artist":[{"id":"22073","slug":"shelley-mclean","title":"Shelley McLean","images":[{"id":"22691","url":"https://franceskeevil.frb.io/artworks/Rippled-Reflections.jpg","filename":"Rippled-Reflections.jpg","slug":null,"img":"\"Rippled"}]}],"artworks":[{"id":"22134","slug":"weathering-the-storm","title":"Weathering the Storm","sold":["sold"],"pageText":null,"price":"$ 2,900","materials":"soft pastel\n51 x 71 cm / framed 72 x 92 cm\n\nWeathering the Storm\nCapturing the dramatic contrast between a sunlit Australian landscape and a moody, stormy sky above, reflects my long-standing fascination with the power and unpredictability of the weather. For many years, my friends and collectors of my work have referred to such skies as a “Shelley Sky.” The deep, dark intensity of the clouds, set against the brightness of the land, explores the coexistence of light and darkness, calm and intense. Wherever these moments appear, I am drawn to them.
