Shelley Ouellet

is from Calgary, Alberta in beautiful western Canada. She is an artist working across a variety of media and focusing on community-based projects. After studying at the University of Calgary, she then received an invaluable education when she became Director of the city's Stride Gallery. She has subsequently worked as an art consultant, a web designer and is currently an instructor at the Alberta College of Art and Design. She ran the Carpet 'N Toast Gallery in her home presenting brief exhibitions of work by local and regional artists. Shelley has been an artist in residence (and later an Associate in Digital Imaging, Media and Visual Arts) at The Banff Centre for the Arts as well as Est Nord Est, The Dunlop Art Gallery and EM/Media. Her work has been exhibited across Canada and the United Kingdom - most recently at the Illingworth Kerr Gallery and the Globe Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and at Stride Gallery in September, 2011.

Shelley's collective experience as an artist, arts administrator and educator has resulted in a professional practice which through its commitment to accessibility has resulted in the development of large scale sculpture, publicity and temporary installations. Her practice aspires to recognize the importance of collective activity in advocacy, community development and the arts. Her concerns relate to the relationship between citizens and their physical and social environments. The development and production phases of each work seeks to create a social environment and economy infused with co-ownership.

This site is an archive of selected works created between 1994 and 2011 by Shelley Ouellet.
