About Vintage Groove
Welcome to Vintage Groove
Hi I’m Shelley Hughes a visual artist & designer/maker based on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula on Peramangk & Ngarrindjeri land in South Australia.
Vintage Groove was born out of my love for mid-century modern & thrifting!
I began collecting vintage fabrics, clothing, glass, pottery & furniture for myself.
This soon spilled over into doing markets selling a combination of retro clothing & collectibles & handmade bags, belts & cushion covers I would make from my vintage fabric stash.
Back then I remember how much I wanted to combine this aesthetic with my own artwork. I was so visually drawn to the bold colours & designs but I was painting seascapes, landscapes & portraits!
It has taken years of experimenting with styles & mediums to discover my own unique way of expressing these ideas through hardedge supergraphic style acrylic paintings on canvas & graphic art designs as prints on paper & fabric.
Everything you'll find at Vintage Groove has been dreamed of, designed, painted & made by me in my little home studio!
Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do producing it ☺️
Cheers
Shelley ✨
