Our newest featured visual artist, Shelly Denning, isn’t new to the Swirl at all. It’s just been awhile since she’s been around. But back she is & we’re very happy that she is! Shelly brings realistic works of icons just about anyone would recognize. The details Denning captures are impressive, to say the least. Take a look at The Dude, for example, and you’ll think you’re looking at a still straight from the movie itself. Still, despite the realistic nature of Denning’s work, there is something special, strange and maybe a little bit mad about each piece. And if you know us, you know that’s just what Mad Swirl can’t resist…and we hope you can’t either! ~ Madelyn Olson
