$30/hr Starting at $75

In 2025, after 19 years away from guru.com, I'm jumping back into the guru fishbowl! I've spent the last 28 years creating fine and digital art, as well as fashion design and product development in the home goods arena. I lived and worked in NYC and Montreal but have enjoyed the last 20 years working in the Detroit area and remotely and as a freelancer. I conceptualize with or without guidance; I work well with you whether you know exactly what you want or need my direction. My skills are broad and varied, using both traditional fine art and digital or a melding of the two. My style is also varied - I can adapt to your needs. The majority of my clients have required work via Adobe Photoshop and hand illustration. I can rough-sketch and conceptualize with/for you at the beginning of the project to make sure we're on the same page. I look forward to collaborating with you! Please visit my portfolio at https://shellychilton.wixsite.com/scad to see my expansive repertoire.

This is the second project that I worked with Shelly on. She did such a great job on the first that I requested her to do another. She will do exactly what you want. She added some flavor to a vision that I already had. I'd endorse her for anyone.

I gave Shelly some challenges that many people in the fashion industry may have rejected or otherwise dealt with poorly. She was terrific. She asked questions, made suggestions and was completely open to modifications. She took on my project as if it were her own, and I now consider her a part of my creative team. I definitely plan to use her again.
