She is the owner and founder of her art studio Junonia Arts. Shelley enjoys creating children's book illustrations, editorial works, puzzles, greeting cards, and stop-motion animations. Born and raised in China, Shelley moved to the United States to study music when she was 18. She is a trained professional concert pianist in parallel to her artistic interest.
