Shelby Oliver is a fashion illustrator residing in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. She studied fashion drawing at Fashion Masters (formerly Melbourne School of Fashion.)
Shelby is a strictly analogue artist, her favourite mediums being watercolour, a Tombow Mono 100 F grade pencil, and a deliciously large sheet of cotton rag cold press paper. She’s also studied architecture and journalism - so she can string a sentence together and knows a thing or two about design. Shelby has taken numerous classes with the fabulous Angie Réhe at The Drawing Salon, and undertook a life-changing masterclass with Bil Donovan as part of L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Week.
