ABOUT

Shea has been practicing the art of orizomé (folding & dyeing paper) since she was 6 years old, when her parents started the annual tradition, in order to save money and have fun making Christmas wrapping paper. They had the most beautiful presents on the block!​

Years later, when Shea became over-stressed and burned out in her career in international adult education, she returned to the dyeing she learned as a child and continued improving her skills. It brought her such joy that she wanted to share these beauties with people in a way that would transcend the delicate nature of the original pieces; thus Chez Shea (fr. house/place of Shea) was born.

Shea says, "Beautiful results come both when I create with intention towards a certain shape or style and when I create without any care for the end result. I can fold and dye for hours watching each design bleed, develop, and unfold in front of my eyes. No single pattern is ever exactly the same, though, which is what I love about this art."

Shea lives and works out of a home studio in Atlanta with her husband, son, and dog.
