Natural elements and the female form give inspiration to Shelley Strong’s jewellery. Shelley’s eclectic CV consists of a Bachelor of Education, a Bachelor of Arts, studying silversmithing, apprenticing as a goldsmith, teaching jewellery and metalwork at Nunavut Arctic College, and teaching elementary school. Shelley has spent the past 25 years living in the NWT, Nunavut, New Zealand and Ontario, sharing her talent and skill. 
Like much of her work, which tends to be fluid and cyclical, Shelley has come full circle back to her roots in Grey Bruce County. Now, surrounded by tall trees and the sound of CBC radio, Shelley can be found in her Owen Sound studio where she produces her hand crafted jewellery.
