Shelley Knapp is a self taught artist with a love for color. Born and raised
in eastern Oregon, her first artistic exposure to color was though quilting
in the early 80’s. Not realizing it at the time but by making very colorful
scrappy quilts, she learned how to read color and developed a natural feel
for it. Thru the 80’s her energies turned to raising her 2 sons and quilting
was put on hold. In 1990 she joined Randy, her husband in making
kaleidoscopes. She immediately found that love for color again by creating
the images for their kaleidoscopes with hand lamped worked glass. After
raising their two sons and moving to the Oregon coast, she reached a point
in her life where she needed more to stimulate her creativity and turned
back to quilting. Today her passion for color is still very strong. This
love for color is event in her kaleidoscope images and in her quilts.
A quote from Shelley
“I put my heart and soul
into my scopes and quilts. They fulfill a function that is very important to me,
bringing color into the world. If just for a brief moment, someone can find
happiness or peace of mind from something I have made, then I have achieved what
I have set out to do.
