Carol Ann Shelton is a Canadian artist whose work bridges abstraction and a deep connection to place, particularly the coastal landscapes of Nova Scotia. Her paintings, rich in texture and movement, evoke the shifting light, rugged shorelines, and ever-changing atmosphere of the Atlantic region.

While her work is rooted in abstraction, it carries an undeniable sense of the land and sea, often channeling the organic flow of water, wind, and geological formations. Through layered color, gestural brushwork, and an intuitive approach to composition, Shelton creates paintings that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Her connection to Nova Scotia is evident in the way her work captures the rhythm and energy of nature—sometimes serene, sometimes tumultuous—much like the coastal landscapes she calls home. Whether working in acrylics, mixed media, or experimental techniques, her art speaks to those who appreciate both the raw beauty of the natural world and the expressive power of abstraction.

For collectors and admirers, Shelton’s work offers more than just a visual experience—it invites an emotional and sensory journey through the colors, textures, and forms that define her artistic language.
