These works by Shelley Adler are part of an upcoming exhibition at Nicholas Metivier in Toronto, the latest in her expressive works with strong colours and striking compositions.
Adler paints from life as well as photographs, using friends and models for her subjects. Her children, now young adults, are also a frequent source of inspiration.
Shelley Adler has an MFA from Boston University and a BFA from York University in Toronto. She has exhibited across Canada and in the U.S. Her work is held in many prominent collections and has been exhibited internationally including in Berlin, Miami and New York.
