It’s lovely to meet you!

My name is Amos Shelley and I am an eclectic mixed-media light-box-digital-film-making artist. I run a small for-profit studio in a quaint seaside village overlooking the ocean. I am a writer, illustrator, stop-motion-animator, and hobbyist candle-maker alongside my wife. I live for moments of convergence. 

Miraculous moments when everything makes sense. And works. And fits. 

When thought and feeling and purpose collide with clarity and congruence. When lines and shapes and colours unite with balance and purpose and beauty. And meaning is found. Feelings are felt. Discoveries of self and others are made. 

As if by fateful coincidence. Or magic. Or divine intervention. 

When the why finds its answer. 

Convergence can’t be forced, coerced, or contrived. Meaning can’t be made to make happen. It just does. Often accidentally. Sometimes by mistake. And it is my passion is to stay in it. Pushing further, always and in all ways. Hands busy. Feet moving. Curious, thinking, awake. With feeling and emotion and playful wonder. Following why, and sharing the spoils. 

As an artist I am but a humble facilitator. A director of light and curator of colour. Carefully crafting worlds to explore. Creating spaces filled with characters and feeling, stories and tension. And my hope is simple. That somehow, in someway, in your own time - and in your own way - your why finds its answer in your own miraculous moment. 

And you catch the light.
