Biography: Shelley Mangold is a teaching artist, renting studio space in Knoxville’s Fourth and Gill neighborhood. She has a BA in Art from Adelphi University and an MS in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Tennessee. A long-time potter and former public school elementary gifted education and art teacher, she now teaches adult mixed media and alcohol ink techniques. Her work has been shown and sold locally at The Emporium, Arts in the Airport, A1LabArts, Fountain City Art Center, TVUU Church, and Broadway Studios and Gallery.

My current work reflects my diverse interests, which lends itself to my combination of painting, printmaking and collage. Using one or more of these techniques: alcohol ink painting, citra etching papers, rusted papers; I create my own papers. These papers along with occasional found objects and natural ephemera become my palette.
