Shelby Grebbin (1997) is a self-taught artist born in Laguna Niguel, California. They studied journalism at Emerson College and are currently working on a project that will transform personal interviews into bold colored pencil drawings that will cover an entire gallery, leaving no white space. Their large scale painting, Your Mother Tried Her Best (there is no soft place to land) is a testament to the resilience of motherhood and the moral obligation to protect all children.
