Shelby LeBlanc
Artist Bio: Shelby LeBlanc is a contemporary painter from Columbia, SC and has been active since 2015. She favors acrylic paint for most of her work, however some of her works delve into watercolor, inks, crayons, or mixed media incorporating book pages, maps, or glass. Much of her works are inspired by the time spent away from home, from the Low Country of South Carolina to her trips to Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, Europe, and Thailand. LeBlanc paints in a variety of styles and mediums over many different subject matters, however, her work is always recognizable- beautiful, dramatic, and demands attention.
Over the years LeBlanc has participated in solo and group exhibits throughout Columbia including Izms of Art, Richland Public Library, 701 Whaley, and Spencer Art Gallery in Charleston, SC. She has created public artwork in the Midlands for One Columbia, London and Lace’s “Lady of Divine,” Cottontown Brew Lab, and Charleston's Frothy Beard Brewery, Push Digital, and The Charleston Pour House. She produced illustrations for the children’s book “Stella Finds Her Home,” written by William Baker, which was published and released in 2018. In 2019, she was awarded a runner up for Best Visual Artist of Columbia by The Freetimes Magazine.
