The Daily Muse: Shelley Kommers, Artist and Illustrator

Shelley Kommers is a Los Angeles-based artist and illustrator. Her artwork is collage-based, textured, and layered, with a cheeky, whimsical quality.

After studying Advertising at Art Center College of Design, Shelley applied her skills to illustration, clothing design, and graphic design. Her artwork has been shown in galleries nationwide, and has been featured in publications such as Somerset Studio Magazine, Zeixs Feierabend Unique Books and The Artistic Mother by Shona Cole; she has also been featured in popular art & design blogs such as Juxtapoz, Escape Into Life, Poppytalk, and Dear Ada.

She lives in the mountains above Los Angeles with her husband, eight-year-old daughter, and toddler son.

“I am always on the lookout for beauty, and I find it everywhere: in the decayed, the imperfect, and the ironic; in the small, tucked away places no one else looks.

My work is inspired by memories, the natural world, and my own inner stories. My work is about the poetry that lives beneath the surface of things.”
