Who is Shelby Clendaniel? A life-long student of the arts, musician, mentor, and father.  

Born and raised on Maryland's Eastern Shore, I spent my childhood growing up in West Denton located on the banks of the upper Choptank River. 

After spending a few early years in the Navy, I studied and graduated from Salisbury State Teachers College.

After spending 32 years as an educator focusing on music education, I have dedicated my retirement years to indulging my interest in sketching.  My work includes landscapes, architecture, and lost historic scenes. 

I currently spend my time with the people and places in the mountains of Union County, Georgia, and at my home on Maryland's Eastern Shore. 

I am currently a member of the Wednesday Morning Artists (Cambridge, MD) and Dorchester Center for the Arts (Dorchester County, MD).
