About

Upcoming paleo-artist and Evolution expert

Hello! My name is Shanley and I'm a paleo-artist! I have loved extinct animals since I can remember. I started loving dinosaurs ever since I first saw Jurassic Park when I was 6. And let's just say that I was that kid that never grew out of the dinosaur phase. It's been nearly 20 years and really a lifestyle for me now. But it's not JUST dinosaurs that I focus on. Pretty much any animal from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras are fair game to me. My favorite animal is the sabretooth - more specifically, the largest one discovered and easily the largest cat to have ever existed; Smilodon populator.
I've also always been an excellent artist too. My main focus is drawing, painting and sculpting the most anatomically accurate animals to date. I'm constantly researching and studying anatomy to always better my work since our understanding of dinosaurs has exponentially increased, and will continue to do so with every new discovery. That means YES, I DO draw my Tyrannosaurs with feathers. I know for some reason there has been push back on that and I don't know why. So if you're looking for more JP inspired dinos, don't bother.
It also goes without saying that I love evolution and could talk about the subject for days. If I could get paid to just talk about the topic, I would- hence why I'm on here. So even if you're a student struggling with biology, I'm your woman.

Work Terms

I really have no set hours to work. I really just do this kind of stuff in my spare time for fun, so hours and pay would have to be discussed for each job. I'm pretty flexible like that. I'd say contact me on here. I'd like to keep personal social media and cell numbers out of it (if possible) like I said, everything depends on the job.
