CREATIVITY

the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work

Background

Chicago Shout features creative designs and home decor. Shellie Hall's artistry and craftsmanship takes you to a place where creativity, technology, and some humor come together. Chicago Flag creations and custom decor are always available as well.

Mediums

Working in a single medium can be restrictive to my artistic process. I use many different substrates, such as paper, acrylic, leather and wood. I also love to explore finishing techniques such as wood stains, watercolors, oils and varnish. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

My Inspiration

As an artist, everything I see, touch, taste and hear. Inspiration is found in nature, kind gestures, a simple smile, tall buildings, the purr of a cat, colors of a sunset, a memory of a favorite song that suddenly comes on the radio. A Sunday morning when the smell of breakfast cooking reminds me of my grandmother.
