hello there!
My name is Shelly LaPearl and I am a first generation Middle Eastern American born and raised in northern New Jersey. I have a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts and an MBA from Ramapo College. Inspirations for my art include the ocean, nature, my cats, Middle Eastern/Jewish culture and anything fantasy related.
