Hello all and welcome to my new website! I love to paint everything from Abstract and Abstract Realism to Realism, in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. I’m happiest when I’m at my easel.
I’m excited to announce something I’ve been keeping under wraps for several years. A special series of products using my digital illustrations artwork. These things take a long time to produce and I’m a perfectionist, so it’s going to be a minute before they are ready for print. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing. All digital work will be coming to my website as well as Amazon!
Steampunk artwork will soon be made into a coloring book.

About Me
My name is Marshelle Backes (mar-shell back-is) and I live in Montesano, Washington. I am the partner of Scott Wells, and with him, have had the privilege of being stepmom to 4 beautiful people (+ 2 spouses) and a grandmother of 2!
I stay engaged in the local art community, support local businesses - especially artistic businesses, and am a member of Harbor Art Guild. I feel it’s important to stay connected even though I struggle daily with chronic pain.
I designed and manage websites from local sites such as Our Aberdeen, ghOST - Grays Harbor Open Studios Tour, 2024, Friends of the Museum, Coastal Community Action Program, and many others. But my real passion is Art and Design.
In 2024, I am publishing a series of prints, cards, and coloring books, check out my digital art examples above and contact me if you want to be notified when they go to print.

I have several pieces available. I show at the Aberdeen Art Center and the Healing Gallery.
