On this week's episode of Art on the Air, we're excited to welcome Shelley Smith back onto the show to talk all about her latest project, "Saints & Sinners," a series of 120 oyster shell portraits that she'll be showing at Hospice Savannah's Summer Nights Party on Friday, September 24th 2021 from 6-9pm at Soho South Cafe!
Smith began the series shortly after a car accident left her temporarily unable to do the metal work for which she'd become known. Exploring the many personalities of Savannah, from well known folks like Jessica Lebos, Katherine Sandoz, and Mayor Van Johnson, to ordinary saints like her favorite post office worker, the affable artist not only found an alternative creative outlet, but a way to feel connected to her community during a time when in-person meetings were difficult.
A wonderful interview that you won't want to miss!
