Shelley Thorstensen

Shelley Thorstensen lives and works in Pennsylvania. As her printmaking is a duet between in tangible and tactile, her artwork is a physical representation of consciousness: a duality of body and mind, physical and mental, heart and soul. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Royal Museum of Art, Antwerp, Belgium; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, PA. She is an ongoing NEA Research Artist at Kansas State University in Electrolytic Chemical Etching and recently exhibited in Portraits of the Brain: Visualizing Behavior: Lehigh University Art Galleries, Bethlehem PA. She is the Director of Printmakers Open Forum.
