ABOUT

Shea’s work began long before she knew the name for the process she was using.

The folded paper dyeing that would later become central to her practice was learned informally through family tradition — a tactile, experimental process rooted in repetition, curiosity, and hands-on making rather than formal art education.

Decades later, through research and continued refinement, Shea learned that this method aligns with the ancient Japanese resist-dyeing tradition known as orizome. Rather than adopting it through study, she recognized it as a language she already spoke fluently through years of practice.

Today, this deeply embodied process is translated into modern wallcoverings, fabrics, and art prints created specifically for professional interior designers. Each design balances bold expression with structure, resulting in surfaces that are visually confident yet reliable in real-world applications.

Chez Shea operates as a studio practice based in Atlanta, Georgia, producing work that is sustainably printed to order with dependable lead times. Hands-on service, thoughtful customization, and clear communication are central to every project.
