Dorset-Born Shelley Dyer-Gibbins, has always excelled in the creative arts and after graduating with distinctions in a National Diploma, a Higher National Diploma and a BA Hons in Art & Graphic Design, she moved to London and undertook a position as a graphic designer for the children’s publishing company ‘Usborne Publishing’. After five years, she moved to work along side the entrepreneur 'Simon Woodroffe' at YO Sushi! in Clerkenwell in the heart of London for a further 2 years. Then an opportunity arose to move to Somerset. A half way haven between her childhood Dorset and a new working life in Bristol. Over the last five years, she has worked in Bristol & Bath as a Production & Studio Manager in Design and Advertising agencies for clients such as Kellogg’s, Pfizer, Yeo Valley, Weetabix, Ocean Spray, Schweppes, Kettles, Homes & Gardens, Homes & Interiors, Porsche, Audi and LTSB.

After recovering from a back injury, she started painting for the first time in years since her University days, first with watercolour then experimentation with acrylic & mixed media.

Shelley has always been influenced by the artists which have been visible in her family for three generations and with the support & encouragement of her family and friends in her home of Croscombe, she continues to paint and plans to exhibit regularly in Somerset.
