Shelton Cochran is a mixed-media artist, a visual storyteller.

“I call my style ‘modern folk art’ blending traditional folk art subject matter, materials and tools with modern technologies”.

The majority of Shelton’s work incorporates woodcarving elements, but he uses whatever materials that help him tell the story.

“I feel the more materials you use the deeper the connection the piece creates with the viewer, but you can’t just use materials to use materials, they have to have a legitimate purpose”.
