Hello!
I’m Shelley Rae Bell,

an award-winning artist and photographer who has been creating children’s stories and writing poetry since I was a small child. I hung my art and stories on the walls or made them into books, dreaming about my artistic future. I’ve begun publishing my children’s stories, and a poetry and photo book will soon be released. I am blessed to have four grown children and three wonderful grandsons. My roots are in Rhode Island, but now I live in Florida with my sweetheart, Mike. Currently, for a season, we are like birds, flying back and forth to Michigan, where I write, draw, read, prepare delicious meals, and walk miles in the woods.
Poetry
Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
