✨ THE NEW KAY SHANLEY ART WEBSITE IS LIVE ✨

I’m so excited to finally share my newly redesigned website with you.

Over the past few years, my work has evolved enormously. I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to paintings that combine women, nature, pattern and collage — works filled with small details and hidden stories, exploring beauty, strength and the stories we carry.

I wanted my new website to reflect that.

You can now explore my paintings by collection, discover more about the stories and inspiration behind my work, and see available original paintings all in one place.

I’ve also created a space where I can share more of the process behind the paintings — because often there is far more happening beneath those layers than you might imagine.

If you love following my work, I’d also love to invite you to join my mailing list. Subscribers will be the first to hear about new paintings, exhibitions, studio news and newly available work.

One of my final pieces for the September Show, at Unleashed Art Collective opening this Friday.

The Enchanted Bond is a little painting about quiet connection — the kind that exists somewhere between trust, intuition and the wildness of nature.

Surrounded by the rich colours of autumn, woman and owl sit together in stillness, each seeming to understand something the other cannot say.

Let me know if you'd like a tag when she goes live.

🌸 Peonies, but make them tiny...

As if I haven't painted enough peonies lately! 😂

I've been having such fun with these little 6 x 6 inch oils — three different peonies, lots of rich colour, dark botanical backgrounds and, naturally, gold. Because apparently I am incapable of leaving gold off anything. ✨😂

They're small, but they certainly aren't quiet!

All three will be available individually in the upcoming Unleashed Art Collective show.

SHE WON!!! 🎉🥂

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that She Wears Her Story has won 1st Place – People’s Choice at the Rotary Club of Hobart Art Show!

With more than 400 artworks in the exhibition, I’m honestly a little blown away by this one.

This painting is particularly special to me. I poured so much of what I love into her — the layers, the collage, the tiny hidden details, the flowing dress, and the idea that we all carry pieces of our lives and our stories with us.

One of my favourite moments at the exhibition was watching a group of women gathered around her, looking closely and discovering all those little details. They told me how much they loved her — and then said they were voting for her for People’s Choice. ❤️

To know that so many other people connected with her too is just wonderful.

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for She Wears Her Story, and to the Rotary Club of Hobart for such a fabulous exhibition.

THE MOON GARDEN 🌙

There are gardens that bloom in sunlight…
and others that seem to come alive beneath the moon.
The Moon Garden is painted almost entirely in blue and a little quieter than my usual paintings.

She will be available at the Unleashed Art Collective September Show this weekend.

She Wears Her Story ✨

Here I am at the Rotary Club of Hobart Art Show at Wrest Point with She Wears Her Story — and I have to admit, it’s rather lovely seeing her hanging there in the exhibition.

This painting has so many little stories woven through her dress — fragments of papers, flowers, words and memories, layered together with oil paint to create something that feels worn, carried and collected over time.

I think we’re all a little like that. Made up of the places we’ve been, the people we’ve loved and all the experiences we carry with us.

Thank you to my lovely friend Snez for taking this photo of me with her. 💛

Hobart friends, if you'd like to see her along with some incredible artworks, the Show is at Wrest Point Casino, today and tomorrow.

Sometimes peace isn’t something we have to search for.
Sometimes it finds us — in a quiet moment, among flowers, with the world softened around us.

Where Peace Finds Me will be joining me for the September Unleashed Art Collective Show.
