Shelley Small is 50 years old and incarcerated in California, USA

Thank you for viewing my profile page. My name is Shelley Lamont Small, 5’8”, single, a Leo, looking for friends and brutally honest. Bold with it. I’m very creative, an artist, write novels, music, and love painting. I am learning new things. Incarcerated since 1997. I don’t drink, smoke, nor do drugs. I’m respectful, bold but curious, speak my mind. My endeavors, like my poetry, I love teaching and helping others, picking them up when they’re down.

I also love being the solution to problems. I’ve accomplished a lot. Painting murals, charitable donations for St. Jude, Wounded Warrior, and more. American Cancer Society, several programs in schools, 8 vocational educations, up to standards. I have 19 jobs, 19 activity groups, work well with others. Inspirational, motivated, and help recipients in that area. Unlimited conversation, no holds barred, no topic restricted. My life is an open book. I desire friends for social support and experience, of knowing what a friend is, "The birth of my child."

What I see is fire and passion when my brushes consume the variety of colors soaking into the soul of my canvas. A part of me creating life, holding my breath, knowing you will never understand it. See, the concept of my art is like trying. Trying to define me, and trying to define life is like trying to explain pain, why one teardrop speaks large amounts of rain.

I'm eager to meet you.

Sincerely,
Shelley
